Lyrics

Today at CIT I had the opportunity to share my testimony. I ended up just telling the story of God's grace and faithfulness in my life, but early in the week, in an attempt to be creative, I had selected song lyrics that expressed the lies I had believed, God's truth, and other aspects of my testimony. Below are some of those lyrics. I hope they can be a reminder to you of God's love and grace.

I wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone
And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land
And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough
(Let that be Enough, Switchfoot)


Unless Your grace had called me
And taught my opening mind
The world would have enthralled me
To heavenly glories blind
(My Lord I Did Not Choose You)


I hear it all depends on my faith
So I'm feeling precarious
The only problem I have with these mysteries
Is they're so mysterious
And like a consumer
I've been thinking If I could just get a bit more
More than my 15 minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure
(Shifting Sands, Caedmon's Call)


I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
(Worlds Apart, Jars of Clay)


O how great Thy loving kindness.
Vaster, broader than the sea!
O how marvelous Thy goodness,
Lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved,
Know Thy certainty of promise,
And have made it mine.
(Jesus, I am Resting)


Put down your paper plate
Come to the table made
Deep blue china
Found on the table by the wine
So fine
It brings out flavor
Like You bring out color in life
Oh, I miss You so
The feel of forever
Oh, that taste I know
It hurts to remember
(I miss You, Shane & Shane)
