A Broken Psalm

A Broken Psalm

We’ve been running out of fear for so long
It’s so hard to keep my head in this mess
Cause I’m about to drop my heart
And I’m afraid of coming up empty-handed
I’d be willing to set it all ablaze
Burn our past down to the ground
It’s time to take a stand,
Call for redemption
Maybe even begin again

Oh God, wake me up inside
Be a light unto my feet
Lead me on to victory
Whether I be in this relationship
Even whether I stay or go
Bring me closer to Your heart,
Closer to Your name, tell me everything
Give me another shot at this life
Change me from the inside

Maybe even begin again
Call for redemption
It’s time to take a stand
Burn our past down to the ground
I’d be willing to set it all blaze
And I’m afraid of coming up empty-handed
Cause I’m about to drop my heart
It’s so hard to keep my head in this mess
We’ve been running out of fear for so long…

Love and Understanding

Love and Understanding

Sometimes life feels so impossible
The only thing I can do is cling to You
I'm looking for love and understanding,
Clarity of thought to get through
What seems to be an insurmountable day.
Why don't I live like I'm dying for eternity
In the end, all these ambitions go with yesterday
So is it all for nothing?
Is it meaningless as Solomon says?
Apart from You, God, I know it is.
Still though, I wonder if there's a remedy
For all these wasted breaths
It's so frightening to know I'm free
But continue to wear these shackles
Jesus once threw off my feet
Only to put them on again and again
Thinking they provide a life less frightening
So I stand between the end and where we lie
Hoping only to capture at least a single dream
Not letting it break until the daylight catches me
Lighting up my soul with love & understanding
Where Your heart is closer than mine,
Inside my chest it's beating
Where Your breath gives life,
in my soul, I can feel You breathing...
