The world puts on this huge façade
That mutes the truth and pushes out God
The world offers only a temporary happiness
Filled with hurt, pain and unforgiveness
And temptations that are just a short term glue for our hearts
That barely holds the shattered pieces that are torn apart
A glue that breaks down in the midst of our stress and brokenness
That dissolves because of our own selfishness
We barely look at the hurt of each other
And think they might need help from another
Destinies that are never fulfilled
Because we’re full of pride and so self-willed.
So contrary to the life that God has for us
A life where he picks us up and wipes off the dust
Where he offers more than a brief relief
And rescues us from our inescapable grief
A life of destiny that lasts for eternity
That surpasses the things set in front of me
He offers restoration, relation and realization
That he is the God of all creation
And he’s the same God of forgiveness and fullness
Who shows true selflessness and realness
A God who truly doesn’t need us
But wanted relationship so bad he sent Jesus
He’s the light that’s worth the fight
A fight that’s about faith and not about sight
He’s a God that’s so full of love
That he sent his one and only son from above
Meanwhile I’m stuck in between
From the seen and unseen
Between God and this world
Emotions mixed, switched and swirled
Between the fear of God and the enemy
Blinded to the plans God has for me
The pressures of this life
Even just choosing wrong from right
Barriers that God’s breaking down
Showing me areas I’m still bound
I was lost but now I’m found
But I feel like even that’s turning around
The struggle the fight
That keeps failing by my might to get it right
The sin I’ve been living in
Sin I thought I’d never touch again
How the desires from within
Need to be cleansed again and again
Trying to let go of everything I know
And turning over to God the control of the show
God you know my heart
And the reservations that are still locked in a dark part
You know my selfish desires
That have put out and stolen my fire
And you see outside of time and space and you see my face
Yet you’re still pouring your grace in such an empty space
And you’re probably laughing at my problems watching me try to solve them
Because you’re just waiting for me to give up so that you can have them
And Lord my one prayer and cry out to you
Is that you would give me the strength to make it through
Cuz I know I’m not guaranteed tomorrow
That this is just time you’re letting me borrow
And I want nothing but to give it back to you
So I can bring YOU glory in everything I do
