So many tears I’ve shed for myself, so much pain I endured for myself.
So many long roads I’ve walked for myself, so many times I figured gains and losses.
So many times when my desires were dashed, I thought of leaving God, but His love always keeps me close,
His words split my heart like a two-edged sharp sword, leaving me nowhere to hide with my shame.
And so often I’d think of leaving God, but His love always keeps me close.
So many times I sought fame and status, brooding, stubborn and selfish.
So many times I doubted, guessed, worried, wandered, unable to resist Satan’s temptation and seduction.
Oh God! It’s Your word that always leads me and guides me, else I’d struggle to take the tiniest step.
Oh God! This is who I am! This is who I am! I truly don’t deserve Your love or salvation.
Oh God! I don’t want to be passive! And I don’t want to regress!
Oh God! I pray that You give me Your chastisement, judgment and refinement,
I will practice the truth and live by Your word.
so that I can be purified and saved by You.
Oh God! I don’t want to be passive! And I don’t want to regress!
I will practice the truth and live by Your word.
so that I can be purified and saved by You, so that I can be purified and saved by You.
