I sit here in an empty room
I'm desperate, God
I'm screaming for you
I fight in a battle
Outnumbered
I'm going to lose
I'm down here on my knees
Tears stream down my face
Who do you want me to be
This temptation's too great
I can't do this alone
No human can stop my desperate plea
I'm fighting it, God!
I want to be free!
I can't do it alone
On my own I fall
Will you pick me up
Or will you reach out
While I turn away once more
My mind is a battlefield
My heart is a war
Come in and win
I can't take this anymore
Oh God, please save me
I need your unending grace
To see your light
And have the darkness flee
God, make it leave
Or give me strength
I'm not done yet
I won't quit
God by your grace I'm standing again
Let's fight this war
You will win
And all will see
Just who you are
Your might and grace
A loving warrior
SAving his bride
She's coming back
She'll be at your side
My God is faith
My God is hope
My God is love
HE keeps me in His hand
With Him I am safe
No force of Hell
Could ever change that
Though I fall again
There you are to pick me back up
You are my God
I am your child I can't wait to see
What you're going to do through me

Old heartbreaks can be fun!

What more could be said?
Once upon a time you were my friend
Was it all a lie...that life you lead
Looks like all we have is a tragic end
Maybe looks can deceive
Your angel eyes have shown me that
Once I started to believe
I see now I fall flat
You deserve something better
Not a child like me
I tie you down like a fetter
You deserve to be free
But the love I've ruined you still give

Love

1 Corinthians 13:7-8


"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there a prophecies they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...and now these three remain; faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."


The greatest of these is love


When all else ends

It stands tall and strong

It's bright and burning so all may see

The light of the Savior's love in me

Love never fails

Knowledge; it will pass away

Material things; they will fade

But love stands strong

Love lives on
