God you have shown me how/when I look up at the world around me/You get bigger as I get smaller/
the smaller I see myself the more I can see you/but help me keep the right perspective/
help me remember to worship the creator not the created.
This world is trying to get me to sell you out/but when I separate myself from the world/
I have enough time to think/about what the world is asking me to do/then I really see.
How much you really did for me/and I can’t help but want to serve you/with my entire life/
and I will never give up on you/because I know you will never/give up on me/thank you Lord/
for freeing me from so much bondage/for taking a broken sin filled life/covering me with your blood/
transforming me into a vessel fit your kingdom.
As Christians we are called/to live in an upside down kingdom/a new set of ethics/a different set of morals/
a higher set of standards/putting others first before ourselves/turning the other cheek.
Pray for those who persecute you/I know that this is so radical but I choose to live/
this way because I love you with my entire being/this way I cannot go wrong/
the world sees these standards are different/but they will not accept them/as a way of living/
Every time I look up/I see a new aspect of your love/I don’t know how to explain it/
but this heart cannot contain it/I cannot hold it in/as I see a dying world/that is turning away/
from their first love. So Lord give me strength/give me wisdom/give me courage/give me the words/
please help me share with others/the love you have shown me.
I am asking for you to use me/asking you to free me/as I need to let go/of the things that bring you hurt/
when I feel like I am dying/I come to you crying/as I see the ways of this world killing me/
I need you to show me/because I cannot make it on my own. I can see how much you have to offer/
this world tries to tell me/that I have nothing to offer/but as I look to the cross/
I see all that you offered me/I am so thankful/I need your forgiveness/a love so beautiful/
I cannot keep it inside/in a world so broken/fallen to sin again and again/a world that is looking for something/
anything to take away the pain/a world fallen to the evil one/I am begging pleading/
crying out to you as you were bleeding. I cry out for this generation/because I know that you can capture a nation/
with your power/your forgiveness/grace and your mercy.
