Break me

V1
How many times I lift my voice to you
How many times I say I will go for you
But how many times O Lord, are they really true?

Cos if it isnt you, it isnt true
And if indeed its me, then let me see
That this was never how you meant this to be..

Am I just using you to build my own success?
Am I just pleasing you to please the eyes of man

Chorus
Dear Lord,
Would you break? Break my heart again
Would you break? Break my heart again

Remind me where I stand
Remind me who I am
Remind me that its only by the blood of the lamb

No other reason I can sing this
No other reason I exist
No other option but to give all I have to give

V2
Lord you search my heart, the things I hide
You see the wrongs, I have inside
Nothing leaves your sight, o let your mercy override

And if I have to prove, what I do for you
Let me prove to you, and only you
Cos everything I do, Lord you see right through

Do I help the lame to build my own good name?
Lord are you my aim, or is this all for my own gain?

Chorus
Dear Lord,
Would you break? Break my heart again
Would you break? Break my heart again

Remind me where I stand
Remind me who I am
Remind me that its only by the blood of the lamb

No other reason I can sing this
No other reason I exist
No other option but to give all I have to give

Bridge
When I say 'take all of me', do I mean all of me, do I mean ALL of me?
When I say 'only you', does it mean only you, or ME and you?
O Lord this isnt right.. Would you make it right? Would you make it right?
Help me do whats pleasing, whats pleasing in your eyes

Falling short over and over again...

God be the solution

"Be the change you want to see in this world"

How long, how long

v1
How long, how long will darkness prevail?
Will we keep chasing our tails
Will the good of man fail

How long, how long, will the soldiers die?
Another wink of the eye, another dagger flys by

How long, how long?
Will we not find a cure, to this ache we endure
When every child left unfed
Is another sign our world hangs by a thread

Prechorus
How long will evil stand?
Will the thorns fill the land
Til the tears come to an end

Save us from the blood on our hands
Save us from the pain we began

Chorus
Arise, arise
The people are weak
The people are needy
Lord arise, arise
The people are longing, for Your touch

V2
How long, how long will You hide Your face?
Cos a glimpse of your face, will erase all the hate

A touch, of your finger tips
Will make it all better
O we cant hold on much longer, we cant hold on much longer

Prechorus
How long will evil stand?
Will the thorns fill the land
Til the tears come to an end

Save us from the blood on our hands
Save us from the pain we began...

Chorus
Arise! Arise!
The people are weak
The people are needy
Arise! Lord Arise!
The people are longing, for Your touch

And we need you now, we need you now


Send your rain, send your rain, send your rain
Send your rain, send your rain, send your rain
O there is one thing, just one thing we desperately need
Its You...

We need you now. We need you now.

Here again at last

Ill bring you more than a song... for a song itself its not what you have desire. You search much deeper within then the way things appear, youre looking into my heart

God doesnt just want quiet time, he wants quality time

V
How have you been, how have you been?
Have you been waiting? Just for me
To lay aside, everything
That keeps my ears from hearing from you
That keeps my eyes from gazing at you
That keeps my lips from singing to you

Who am I, who am I?
That you would seize all activity
Just to come down and sit here beside me
And listen to my every plea

And for now all that surrounds will dimly fade..

Chorus
All I want is to spend some time with you
What could better then to spend some time with you?
This world can wait, just for awhile
Just for awhile
Just for awhile
Cos all I want is to spend some time with you


Its been too long, too long

Bridge
How lovely it is, just to be here, just to be here
Whatever it is, it can wait a little while
Its only by grace, that I can be here face to face
And I miss you, I miss you...


I promise you, I wont rush this through
For what could be more important than you
Forever it is'nt enough
It is'nt enough
It is'nt enough
Just to spend some time with you

And I simply come...

This is an old post. But entering a year of rest and restoration, its appropriate. This year, lets come back to the heart of worship

Title: Today as I worship

V1
Take this time to mend your broken soul
Take this time to spend with Me alone
Put away distractions and the memories of a past
Cos here you are in my courts again at last

Today cast away your every worry
Cos right here in my presence you are free
Here you stand redeemed, bought back by my mercy
But its been far too long since I heard you say to me...

"Father I know its by your grace im in this place
And today everything thats of me will erase...

Chorus
Today as I worship You, nothing else matters
Today as I lift my voice, everything fades away
Today as I close my eyes, the crowd around me disappears
Cos today its just me and You, and its all about You...

V2
I wont care of the eyes that are watching me
Cos my eyes are fixed on You and You only
This moment reach inside into the depths of my heart
And take away everything that will keep us apart

Today I place aside my every crown
All success that Ive had I lay them down
Cos a heart that is broken, You will not despise
A heart thats true to worship, is pleasing in Your sight

Father I know its by Your grace im in this place
This day let me meet You face to face...

Chorus
Today as I worship You, nothing else matters
Today as I lift my voice, everything fades away
Today as I close my eyes, the crowd around me disappears
Cos today its just me and You, and its all about You..."

Only by Grace..

Every human is unique. Each having different mindsets, attitudes, characters, perceptions, environments.. We create conflict, for we dont understand each other, we dont understand how another can think so differently from ourself. Thus we harbour much bitterness to each other, most of the time judging others for their wrong doings. But who are we judging? when were all sinners the same, and clinging to the grace of God. Who are we judging when we all fall short when we face the true judge Himself. Yes, we must correct the sin and the wrong in this world, but we must remember to condemm the sin and not the sinner.. Have you been in a situation where youve been completely wronged by someone, when you yourself did nothing wrong? Well its probably an incy bit (too small to describe) of what Jesus when through. Did NOTHING wrong, yet completely hated by the world he came to save.. It isnt easy, learning to love like He did.


It may not even seem right
I didnt even put up a fight
Craziness it seems
But deep in me a memory...

Of a man who did nothing but right
And still he did not put up a fight
And Im hoping you will see
Im here to be your friend, not your enemy

Yes I can sit here and judge
Condemm you of your wrong
But who am I to point a finger?
When the dept of my sin still lingers
And Ill take blow after blow
Just for the hope that you one day know
That youll turn around
And receive this grace that I found

I was about to strike back
When a voice it stopped me on my tracks
It said do you remember? Do you remember?

How you once bore a penalty
How undeservingly you were set free
How your chains were ridden
How your depts were forgotten

Yes I can sit here and judge
Condemm you of your wrong
But who am I to point a finger?
When the dept of my sin still lingers
And Ill take blow after blow
Just for the hope that you one day know
That youll turn around
And receive this grace that I found


And we don't know if its you or me to blame
But whose to say when were guilty all the same
It aint easy...
Loving like He did

We strive in vein to see who gets more
But my friend we're all sinners after all
It aint easy...
Loving like He did

You've struck my right now heres my left to you
All I wish is that youll see right through
It aint easy...
Loving like He did
