the unreasonable trade

Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good. Psalm 25:6-7

V1
Can you see, can you see the irony?
How my joy could arise from agony
My penalty, erased from memory
Undeservingly set free

Like a prisoner released from all his crimes
Like a melody to a broken ryhme
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see the irony

O Lord, please forget, my youthful ways, my sinful days
But don't, don't forget, your grace your mercy, poured out for me

Chorus
Intervention from above
Found in this grace, lost in this love
His precious blood, gave me a brand new start

So what can I do? But give it all back to You

V2
All I did was come before the throne of grace
And said Lord all this time, ive turned away
And right away, You forgave
There my life was saved

And i won't, won't forget, the tears the sweat, the blood You shed
That helped, helped me forget, my shameful past, and all I did was ask

Bridge
O so worthy is the lamb, that stretched out His hand
Pull of my chains, put it on His own
I walked away free, while He died there alone...

Just to forget, my transgressions
And I will remeber, my redemption
That I can rejoice in Him, for I stand here redeemed
Cleansed from within, cleansed off my sin
Whose to say what I could have been
O where do I begin...to give it all back to you

Finding You

In the times of trouble, has God temperarily abandoned us? Has He left you on your own awhile until He comes and blesses you again? No, if theres something that comforts me, its the knowledge that God is in the battle with me; through my struggles, when youre hurting, when youre prosecuted, when youre struck down, when youre alone and crying out...God is there...and He will never leave you nor forsake you. We feel that Hes far, but hes actually there with you, what we have to do, is find Him. Have you found God in your battle? Its something really amazing... Claim His promise today: You will seek Me and you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart (great verse! Jer 29:12-14)

V1
O Lord im drowning, please take my hand
O Lord im hurting, help me stand
I cant win this battle, but I know You can
So in this darkness help me find You...

I can hardly breath now
And I can hardly see now
But a glimpse of You is what ill cling on to
Cos O God I know You'll see me through

Chorus
In the Shepards arms I will be
Hes watching over me
And in the dark He does not sleep

Holding on to the promise He gave
The blood that He once shed
His life revealed by death I have

V2
O Lord You seem far away, but i know that Youre near
It seems like Youre gone, but I know Youre right here
The battle rages, but its nothing compared
To the battle You fought just to spare
My life, I have in You
And Your rod, it comforts me..
That even in the coldess of nights
Lord I know Youre walking by my side


Bridge
Come to me, all who are weary
Those who seek me, they will find me...

I give

This song is a simple meditative piece sang to God. We far too many times fail to acknowledge God for everything He has given us, and not uncommon to find it unthinkable to be able to surrender everything to Him, giving your whole life to Him. But we fail to realize, everything is God-given, so what we surrender is His already, what we give is given to us at first from His hand. We often think giving to God will mean sacrificing relationships that mean so much to you, sacrificing happiness, but we yet again fail to realize that even how much good you get out of a friendship, how happy you are is determined by God as well. This has been a struggle for me..and im sure it is for many...to really say to God "Everything is Yours", but Lord who are we to say what is Yours?Who are we to give what is Yours to begin with?

V1
Who am I to choose, how to live
When all I have to loose, is what You give

O take me to the first day, where I a sinner asked You to stay
Take me to the first day, to remember the life You lay, down for me


Chorus
So what can I give to You
That is not what You gave, to me
O Lord, I give
My life, my all, my everything

Ill give what that comes from Your hand
Ill praise You with all I am
For Lord, You are
My life, my all, my everything

V2
As I turn back the pages of yesterday
I see before me a story of grace

So take me to the first day, where I asked You to forgive
Here I stand forgiven, Lord for You my life Ill live


Bridge
And God I wanna thank You, wanna thank you

For my salvation, for my redemption
For who I am, for Your perfect plans...
For my passions, for my direction
For my family, your unending mercy...
For the glory, for the pain
Every breath I take, every move I make...
For the ones who mean so much to me
For the joy You gave so abundantly...

For Your love, I dont deserve
For Your love, that gave me my purpose
