and I rejoice to know that I have a God I can trust even when he isn't there, as Dr. Robert Smith put so well.
so, here we are, lyrics currently describing my life...
++++++++++++++++++++
I've found a little is not quite enough. I know how I can stray, and how fast my heart could change. Empty me of the selfishness inside, every vain ambition, and the poison of my pride. And any foolish thing my heart holds to, Lord empty me of me, so I can be filled with you!
++++++++++++++++++++
I can't believe that I'm here in this place again. How did I manage to mess up one more time? This pattern seems to be the story of my life. Should've learned this lesson by the thousandth time. Cause I promised myself I wouldn't fall, but here I've fallen. I guess I'm not as strong as I thought. All I can do is cry to you, O God, you have to save me! You're my last and only hope. All my right answers failed me, and I can't seem to make it on my own.
++++++++++++++++++++
I'm staring at these empty walls, wondering when you'll visit me again. When will you come? If there is anything at all coming in between our love, please show me, cause I am barely hanging on. Can anybody hear me? The silence is deafening. Why do you seem so far away, when I know you're here with me? I just need the faith to see, nothing can separate me from your love. Believing what I can't see has never come naturally to me, and I've got questions. But I am certain of a love strong enough to hold me when I'm doubting. You'll never let go of my hand. Can anybody hear me?
++++++++++++++++++++
I can't walk without watching where I'm going. I can't speak without knowing what to say. I can't love without any hesitation cause I know that you don't work that way... I'm not gonna fight you anymore. Not gonna try to lock the door. You took your life and gave me yours, there's no reason why I shouldn't trust you with mine.
++++++++++++++++++++
be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side. bear patiently the cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to order and provide. In every change, he faithful will remain! Be still, my soul, thy best, thy heavenly friend, through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
++++++++++++++++++++
how long will this take? how much can I go through? my heart, my soul aches, I don't know what to do. I bend, but don't break, and somehow I get through, because I have you. and if I had to crawl, well you'd crawl too. I stumble and I fall, carry me through. the wonder of it all, is you see me through. O Lord, where are you? do not forget me here. I cry in silence, do you not see my tears? when all have left me, and hope has disappeared, you'll find me here.
++++++++++++++++++++
you look around, and staring back at your another wave of doubt. will it pull you under, you wonder. what if I'm overtaken? what if I never make it? what if no one's there? will you hear my prayer? when you take that first step, into the unknown, you know He won't let you go. so what are you waiting for? what do you have to lose? your insecurity is trying to hold to you. you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move. yeah faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water too.
++++++++++++++++++++
I am yours and you are mine. You know far better than I; and if destruction's what I need, then I'll receive it, Lord, from thee. I need you like a hurricane- thunder, crashing wind, and rain- to tear my walls down, I'm only yours now. I need you like a burning flame, a wildfire untamed, to burn these walls down, I'm only yours now. only yours now.
