I am so tired…I am so weak…
I need more strength…I need perseverance…
I can’t seem to carry on…Because I am so exhausted…

You give me a second wind…there is something that keeps me going…
When I feel like my body is failing…I can put my hope in you…
When I feel like crying out to you in pain…when I stop living for selfish gain
Then will you use me…then will you strengthen me…
You have heard my cries for help…You have broke the shell I hide in…

You are my deliverer…When I feel abandoned…
I want you…I need you Lord to come and make me new…
There are so many things I need for you to change…but I need to give those to you…
I cannot change this life on my own…I want to be a witness to this love you’ve shown…

Enough is enough, when will it be true…You are drawing your children to you…
I want you to work in me…before you can work through me…
I come with an attitude…of thankfulness…for what you’ve done for me…
Your gift of love is so great…I cannot grasp just how infinite…
You are my song…the reason why I breathe…then will You rise up please heal my heart…

So many emotions…so many heartaches…I am tired of living a life as a fake…
You have become real to me…Teach me to be the man you want me to be…
When I feel like I have strayed away…You are calling me back…into your family…
When I deny you…You don’t deny me…because of your love I am born again free…
You are the music…you are my song…the reason I write is because I want to glorify you…

Emotionally I am drained…Physically I am spent…
My throat is dried…When my flesh has died…
Upon the cross you were killed…we are to die to ourselves…
Stretch me Lord…in areas I am afraid to let others into…
Teach me who I am…on the inside…
Not letting pride get in my way…may I put my hope in you today

I don’t like stepping out of my comfort zone…as I come humbly before your throne…
Teach me what it’s like…to step into the real world…As I am really excited to go…
I am so scared…people will find out…who is underneath this pride…
Under the mask I try to hide behind…when people ask who I am on the inside…
Oh Lord please help me remember that my flesh today has died…

Daily I need to take up my cross…and give you my all…
This is the way to follow you…I lay before you offering you my all…
Everything that hurts, when I feel alone in the dirt…God will sustain me as I come…
Don’t know why…you loved me so much to die…but I can’t believe I am yours…
I love you…no one else will take your place…no one else fills this void…
Others may get annoyed…Others may get angry…may get upset…

I don’t know this love so great…Greater love I have never known…
How is this love…so real to me…so powerful to set me free…
I am scared of where I would…be if you had not captured me…
Don’t stop now…this life is just beginning…Eternally living starts now…
The moment I accept the invitation…let you come in…I love you Lord now…

Bring me to BAR…Burial of my flesh…help resurrect my spirit… I ask you now…
You have made me who I am…You have been my closest friend…when you have stripped everything away…I open up my eyes and I see you cry…Your son to die because of all my sin…
