Here's My Life...

Sometimes I find myself dwelling in the past and convincing myself that things will never be okay because of the pain I've felt or the things I have done. It's hard to let go. It's hard to put it behind me. But why hold on when I know that I have hope? I've given my life to God, and I strive to live for Him daily. But sometimes you need a little reminder that yes, things ARE going to be alright, and yes, you WILL make it through without getting hurt. God has a plan and purpose for my life that I have yet to discover, and knowing that gives me such an indescribable joy and perseverance to press on. "With God, all things are possible." [Matthew 19:26]

Once again I said my goodbyes
to those I love most
my heart feels that familiar pain
as I long for hope
cause this road is hard
when I feel so far

And God I’m crying out tonight
cause I’ve given you my life
but I’m tired and I’m missing what’s behind
so once more here’s my life

On the day that you called my name
all that I knew changed
I found when I said yes
that I
would never be the same
though the call is hard
you are worth it all

And God I’m crying out tonight
cause I’ve given you my life
but I’m tired and I’m missing what’s behind
so once more....

Even when the tears are falling
when I find I fear the calling you
remind me,
words you've spoken over my life
promises I’ve yet to see
you comfort me.
