Vessel
How can You love me
After all that I’ve done?
How can You
use me
When I am exhausted?
Why would You want me
When I’m
weak and broken?
How could You forgive?
What kind of love
permits
A thorough cleansing
Of my hard heart and mind?
I
struggle through doubt
And I reach out in faith.
God if You are
real:
Reveal Yourself to me,
Purge my hardened heart,
Renew
my filthy mind,
Show me how to love,
And make me transparent
So
Your love shines through
This small vessel of Yours.
The Abyss
Pull me from
within
The big black abyss
That I have fallen
Into its
vastness
I have fallen from Your grace
And I cannot see
Your face
Bring me back to Your presence
Then restore my
faithfulness
Bring me back to You
I cannot survive
Away
from You
Let me not succumb
To the voice of death
I hear
beckon
Darkness covers me
Like a wool blanket
And I
cannot see
From underneath it
I have fallen from Your
grace
And I cannot see Your face
Bring me back to Your
presence
Then restore my faithfulness
Bring me back to
You
I cannot survive
Away from You
Let me not succumb
To
the voice of death
I hear beckon
You will never escape my
grasp
Stronger than the bite of an asp
As the darkness tackles
you
You begin to see through
The ignorance that surrounds
you
Like the juice in a stew
I call out in vain
You
cannot hear me
As I scream in pain
And fall to my knees
I
had fallen from Your grace
And I will not see Your face
Now
give me my consequence
That’s in store for my
faithlessness
Take me back to death
I cannot survive
Away
from You
You let me succumb
To the voice of death
I
heard beckon
Quicker than lightning
You lit up my
world
While I was whining
Your grand plan unfurled
Brought
back to You
I will survive
Next to You
I did not
succumb
To the voice of death
I heard beckon
Who Can
You search for a savior
Someone to rescue you
You need a
great healer
Someone to mend your wound
You long for
forgiveness
Someone to pardon you
You need a friendly hand
To
wipe away your tears
You’re seeking a soul mate
A sympathetic
ear
To comfort you
I know who can save
I know who can
heal you
I know who will forgive
And who will comfort you
He
will give you peace
He will give you joy
He will give you
life
He will shower you
With mercy and grace
Who can
save you
The Messiah
Who can heal you
The lamb of God
Who
can wash away your sin
Who can make you whole again
Jesus the
Christ
The Son of God
