Hope some of you can find encouragement in some of these
God I can't take this pain, I'm holding in so much shame, somebody needs to know, Father, but to who can I go? Will anybody care, this pain I can't take to bear, I need to be set free, do you really care about me? I'm just one person, just one heart, just one soul, am I really set apart? I've fallen again, I don't have the strength to stand, I can't do this by myself, how am I supposed to follow your plan? The hurt inside, claws at my heart, tears down my dreams, rips me apart. God I need your grace, to see the beauty of your face, how long can this go, this shame I can't bear to hold. So give me a purpose, give me a plan, fill me up again, I promise you, through your strength, I will stand.
I stand at the gate, I don't want to fall, I'm so close again, I'm trying with my all. I need to be here, walking with you, filled with joy, filled with you. Give me your peace, i'm trapped in sin, I'm broken inside, humble me within. As I go forth today, give me that fire, fill me with passion, you're my true desire. How can I lead? How can I teach? If I keep falling down, stumbling from my feet? I don't understand, Lord, why you've given me a call, given me a passion, if I always fall. God show me the way, my heart cries out, I'm hungry for you, the desires of your heart. So lead me again, upon your grace I will stand, through your love I will lead, shining your heart to every man. I proclaim I will follow, though times may be tough, as long as I have you, Lord, I will have enough.
I have a calling, I have a need, I have a purpose, the world needs to be set free. I have a passion, I have a love, I have forgiveness, which comes wholey from above. Everywhere I look, everywhere I go, everywhere, somebody needs to know. Stir up a passion, Lord make me spirit driven, as I listen for your voice, and use the gifts that by your spirit I've been given. I will follow you, to the ends of the earth, even until the end of time, preaching your word. I am willing to give, I am willing to serve, I give you my all, still so much less than you deserve. Give me a calling, Lord, not from me, but from the heart of my Father, a need to set the captives free. I abandon my heart, I'm setting myself aside, I want to burn with you, with all I am inside. This is my covenant, this is my vow, Lord, my whole life I lay before you now.
I plea from my knees, I cry from my heart, I'm broken inside, crumbling apart. My strength has left, my shame has come, my love is prideful, where have I gone? Im supposed to be different, im supposed to be set apart, then why do I do this, seperate my life from your heart. This battle has broken me, brought me to the ground. As I lay here, i can only feel alone, trapped, as the world spins all around. Why can't I find the strength to stand? Why did I ever leave the peace I had in you, why did I step into this battle and try to this on my own, and refuse the help, the strength, I had in you. I can't explain why, I can't explain how, I just need you to lift my soul, come back and lift me from these ashes somehow. I know you will never betray me, you've been standing here all along, waiting for me to reach out, waiting for me to cry out. I'm sorry for making you do this, watching as I withered in pain, watching what I once had in you, replaced in fear, doubt, and suffering. But I look to your eyes, and see that your love is too much, to look away from me, to leave me broken and shattered, crumbling as from the ground I begin to be covered in my own dust. I need to grasp your love, I promise I can't do this on my own, I never could, and this time it's really starting to show. As you lift me from the ground, as you brush off my dust, you smile and whisper that your proud of me, that I could never do anything to stop this love. This soul is needy, this broken spirit weary, yet all I have in you is enough to hold and keep me. To hold me in your love, even though the battle will be tough, even when I fall, I will remain in your all consuming love. Because what else in this heart matters, really, your love is all. Your love is enough, to carry me even when I fall.
I must stand for this, for what else is there, who else rescued me, as death on the cross he did bear. The world is caving in, collapsing all around, there is nowhere to go, but to stand unmoved on this solid ground. There is no inbetween, no half in, half out, the price is too much, this battle that consumes every heart. The cost will be great, the cost of surrendering this life, what the world now knows as peace, will end in strife. Though, what I know as love, will always stand, will flow not only to this nation, but to every man. This call is not easy, it's a call to war, it's a cry for revolution, let's answer the plea, now is the time to be light in a suffocating world.
I'm running after you, I need to be filled up. God please provide me, with your grace, with your love. I'm chasing after you, I'm giving you my all, I refuse to give in, I refuse to fall. So many times i've tried, to do this on my own, I've turned my back on your plans, I've stumbled through on my own. It's not worth it, not living this life, not giving you my all, not becoming that light. I will do all I can, to become what you need, Lord this is my desire, this is my plea. I'm finally running after you, I can see your love, which I have received so freely, which fills me up. I need to be emptied of me, give me a desire, let me burn with passion, inside me ignite your fire.
Will you light the way for my heart, will you show this wandering soul the way? Will you take and guide my life, will you carry my heart until all else fades away? Will you take this shattered life, will you take this broken soul, will you take all ive done, and mend me together, make me whole? Will you be there when i've slipped away, will you be the one I can turn to, when I feel lost, when I'm trapped, and the only thing I have left is to cry out to you. Why can't I see you right now Lord, why can't I feel your grace, if your really here God, I need to see your face. I'm at the end of who I am, I'm finished with all I can do, all my strength is gone, I am nothing God, make me everything in you. So hear me as I cry out Lord, this broken life that looks to you, I refuse to give in, so God, I will trust in you.
I am only a man, but I have you living in me. I have strength, no trial can defeat me. Every tribulation is in your hands, yet I am still human, merely a man. A man of you, a man of worth, holding to the promise of the glorious birth. Although I am broken, although I lay dead, I put my trust in you, and my soul is fed. But what is more, a birth or a death? What is this life, but merely a breath? And although that is so, it is long enough for my soul, to ponder, to wander, to hunger and thirst. To lie down, to rise up, to take joy in my birth.
God I want to know you, I don't want to live in shame. I need to tell the world, I need to scream out your name. I can't keep you in, I need to get this out, how love stands here, how love is all about. Now I stand here, now I lift up my hands, now I draw in your word, this battle will not defeat this man. I am more than a man, I'm a surrendered life, a fought for soul, a blood covered life. I'm here for good, what matters to God is what consumes this heart, I need his will and nothing apart. There's too much pain, too much to lose, too much suffering, I must look past the bruise. God help me to love, love without cease. Help me to look beyond, and realize why I still breathe. Now each breath is yours, now each moment for your will, I'm a soldier for you, yet without you I'm broken with no hope. I can't stand here and wait, there's too much to lose, there is no time to spare, this suffocating world gasps for you. Lord provide us with your breath, consume us with your love, the world needs you, let your abundant grace come down from above.
Your my child in those dark times, when everything is breaking down. Your my love when you slip away, and give the world your crown. You can fall as far as you can, as far as you will, but my child, my love for you will never grow still. Ill always be seeking you, I want your heart, I need your all, not just one part. Why do you do this, turn your back when it hurts, when it doesnt make sense, when you feel so undeserved. I promise you, I ve never left you, and Ill never leave you to walk alone. I am yours, please just trust me with your all. I love you, as my own.
Will you turn to me today, or give your life away? Will you take my hand, or will you fall when you make your own plans? Why do you continue to look for more, is my love not enough? When all youve done, is longed for love, why do you turn your back and run? Because I am all, all you need, and all you could ever want. How much more, do you need to see, when I have offered you my Son? I want to be, here with you, forever in this paradise. I want to trust in you, as you guide my sheep, and lead them in the ways of Christ. So please return, return to me, there is so much more. That you are meant to be, than you will ever see, my love for you has never been more.
When it is all said and done, and you stand before the One, will you just be satisfied with what you have done? Or will your life show that you glorified His Son? And what will then come? After you first see the Son. Will you accept what He has done? Or will you turn your back and run? Because He loved you first. He hates to see you in hurt. He can take away your pain, yet what is there more to gain? Why do you still run? After everything He has done, all you need is the Son, when its all said and done.
God I can't take this pain, I'm holding in so much shame, somebody needs to know, Father, but to who can I go? Will anybody care, this pain I can't take to bear, I need to be set free, do you really care about me? I'm just one person, just one heart, just one soul, am I really set apart? I've fallen again, I don't have the strength to stand, I can't do this by myself, how am I supposed to follow your plan? The hurt inside, claws at my heart, tears down my dreams, rips me apart. God I need your grace, to see the beauty of your face, how long can this go, this shame I can't bear to hold.
