In remembrance

Help me Lord
Im a sinner to the bone
Give me a chance
And I will stumble and fall

You search me
For more than a melody
For more than a ryhme
For more than a tune, and I pray to you

That I remember, the hand that touched my blinded eyes and made it see
That I remember, the breath of life that breathed into my empty being
That I remember, that everything I give You is what You've given me
That I remember, that I remember

Lord if I forget You, let the music come to an end
If I forget You, take this gift back from my hands
If the applause, becomes my cause
Then let the new song come no more

If You're not in my voice, then let these words fall deaf to ear
If You're not in my heartbeat, then let it all cease right here
And if I can't take You with me
Then take me nowhere...

That I remember, the scars that paid the price for my broken life
That I remember, the outstretched arms of grace that clothed me in embrace
That I remember, that You spared my life, again and again and again
That I rememeber, that I remember...

If I forget You, let the music come to an end
If I forget You, take this gift back from my hands
If the applause, becomes my cause
Then let the new song come no more

If You're not in my voice, then let these words fall deaf to ear
If You're not in my heartbeat, then let it all cease right here
And if I can't take You with me
Then take me nowhere...


Lord again I plead to You, please catch me when I fall
And if your presence is not with me, then don't send me at all
And let the fire burn no more...

If I forget You, it'll be my very end
If I forget You, it'll be my very end
Don't let me forget You Lord
Please don't let me forget...
