I Should Have Known

I know God wants to use me but I find I’m so afraid
When I think of my deep struggles due to past mistakes I’ve made.
I just don’t want to hurt again or plunge into despair
I’d rather just come home each night and not go anywhere
So why does all this happen when I’m happiest at home?
And fear won’t let me get involved beyond my comfort zone.
This 50-day adventure has been trouble from the start
For this daily process, brings conviction to my heart
I should’ve known with God at work His people to renew
In just a simple matter of time, it would affect me too!
