Sometimes I exhaust myself.
My insecurities could fill the ocean floor.
I know that God is more than enough – His
love and grace can never be exhausted.
But sometimes I can’t seem to make the
connection between my head and my heart…
And even more than that – resting in the
assurance that His love and grace cover ALL of my imperfections.
The things that I try so hard to forget and
tear myself away from, are the very things HE wants me to bring to Him.
“Jesus Christ
You bled Your
love, laid down Yourself
And gave me life
In naked shame
You hung and You were lifted high
Here I lay in awe
and wonder
I am afraid
For no one’s
ever sacrificed and loved me this way
So on my face I
fall under Your heavy grace
Here I lay in
awe and wonder
And I wonder.”
- Leeland, “I
Wonder”
“And my
God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ
Jesus.”
-
Philippians 4:19
Sometimes I feel like I’m starving for Him.
Like I have gone days, weeks even, without food…causing me to go through life
with no…LIFE in me.
Sometimes I just need to know that all of my
sins are taken care of…and to live free
in the knowledge that God is taking care of me…and I don’t have to strive so
desperately to be perfect – because He
is everything I’m not.
And He’s
mine.
I need you
To soften my heart and break me apart
I need you
To open my eyes and see that You’re shaping my life
All I am
I surrender
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside – I give you my life
I need You to soften my heart and break me apart
I need You to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me
All I am
I surrender
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside – I give
you my life
I may be weak
But Your spirits strong in me
My flesh may fail
But my God You never will
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside
I give you my life
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside, I give you my life
I may be weak
But Your spirits strong in me
My flesh may fail
But my God You never will
- Elevation Worship, “Give Me Faith”
I don’t need perfection for myself. I need
Him. Only Him.
How could a love be so perfect and pure?
All I know is that no such love could ever
come from anyone or anything on the Earth.
This
dry and desert land
I
tell myself, "Keep walking on"
Hear
something up ahead
Water
falling like a song
An
everlasting stream
Your
river carries me home
Let
it flow, let if flow
All
my fountains
A
flood for my soul
A
well that never will run dry
I've
rambled on my own
Never
believing I would find
An
everlasting stream
Your
river carries me home
Let
it flow, let it flow
Open
the heavens
Come
Living Water
All
my fountains are in You
You're
strong like a river
Your
love is running through
All
my fountains are in You
Come
on, and rain down on us
Rain
down on us, Lord
Come
on, and rain down on us
Rain
down on us, Lord…
