New Mercies

I can't find the words to say
No more walking my own way
I can't do anything right
Get me out of this lonely night.

It's time to show me, God.
The long road lays untrod.
I can't take one step more.
I can't feel like this any more.

You promised....
To take good care of me.
To guide me but I can't see.
I'm searchin..
Each morning I expect a change
But I'm left with all this rage.

All I wanna do is follow
I can't. I am so hollow.
All I wanna do is follow
I can't. I am so hollow.

Each morning is supposed to be
Filled with those new mercies
All I feel is pain.
Get me out of the dark night rain.

Wake me up to find
Peace of mind
Take away this pain.
Take away the rain.

You promised....
To take good care of me.
To guide me but I can't see.
I'm searchin..
Each morning I expect a change
But I'm left with all this rage.

All I wanna do is follow
I can't. I am so hollow.
All I wanna do is follow
I can't. I am so hollow.

Hurt

I can't take another day.
Watching you slip away.
All the life I've ever known
Feeling nothing like my own.
Hear the bad news come in waves
All along he says, "God saves."


Nothing more outside for me.
This is not what's supposed to be.
Want to watch him grow old and gray
Hear advice and help me pray
Time to move but all is numb
I want out, I want to run


There's nothing left inside.
Just an empty place to hide.
God take it all away.
I can't face the day to day.
It's no use talking to my friends.
Where does it stop, where does this end?
God it's time to make me see
Why do I hurt?
Why do You let me?



Stop the lies, stop the cliches
Don't wanna hear of your sad days
Don't you see that I don't care
All I need now isn't there
Can't take it anymore.
Gotta get up off this floor.


There's nothing left inside.
Just an empty place to hide.
God take it all away.
I can't face the day to day.
It's no use talking to my friends.
Where does it stop, where does this end?
God it's time to make me see
Why do I hurt?
Why do You let me?



If there's one thing I believe
It's that You never want me to leave
It's hard to understand just why
Why did he have to die?
Guess I have to make You mine
Can't live through him - now it's my time



Gotta live like it's my life
Like I am Yours and You are mine
Can't hide behind my old facade
Now and always You're my God
There's nothing left to fill this pain
Except for You. It's Your time to reign.

So when there's nothing left inside.
Just an empty place to hide.
God can take it all away.
When you can't face the day to day.
It's no use talking to your friends.
Where does it stop, where does this end?
God it's time, He'll make you see
Why do You hurt?
Because so does He


Not thrilled with the last line...working on it....

You Name

...is a strong and mighty tower
...is a shelter like no other
.........Nothing has the power to save....
like Your Name.

My purpose

The moment I realized My reflection was in His eyes
And the pain He bore would have been just for me
The second I understand It was always in His plan
To save me from myself and help me to see

He loves me now and He loved me then
When you think about it, it's always been so
In Heaven, on earth, and on that tree
When you look through Jesus' eyes, that's when you know.

My life was always meant to be.
My eyes were always meant to see.
My hands were always meant to serve.
My mind was always meant to learn.
In Heaven, on earth, and on that tree
When you look through Jesus' eyes, that's when you know.

Thank You for Your mercy
Thank You for Your grace
Thank You for forgivenes
When guilt covered my face

My life was always meant to be.
My eyes were always meant to see.
My hands were always meant to serve.
My mind was always meant to learn.
In Heaven, on earth, and on that tree
Every time I look through Jesus' eyes, that's when I know.

Keep Singing

This is by MercyMe on their "Undone" album. I had forgotten about it, but rediscovered how much it spoke to me. God really uses them to sing some powerful lyrics. You should look it up and download it if you don't have it. The piano is amazing and simple and worshipful. I love it. Hope you enjoy.



Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunchine on my face
And all I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place

But when I am stuck
And Ican't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
You're the One that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap?
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me.
I gotta keep singing.

Can I climb up in Your lap?
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me.
Oh, You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing.
