Born into sin and inequity
Sin always seemed to get the best of me
Temptation the test of me
Tell me Lord what the end may be
The strength of me
All in thee
Forever into eternity
The way the truth and the life
God overcome
Overcome this pain and strife
I came to the waters not knowing what to expect
It was not long before it was up to my neck
Slowly the waters rose above my chin
Still in my heart I would not to Him give in
Then to my nose the waters arose
Thinking to myself that’s as far as it goes
I choose to deny the truth of Gods grace
In till below the baptismal waters was my face
Then in my head I remembered what was said
To live is Christ and to die is gain
From the waters I did not leave
For now He lives were once I was
The choice He choose when they spilled his blood
New life has entered my soul while praying for relief
Expecting to awake to a misery and a pain
Waiting on the end of my days
Love and Joy, Hope and Peace I could never imagine having any of these
I searched for nothing and nothing I found
Foreign to myself even in my hometown
Enter God and all these die New Life is Birthed in Jesus the Christ
Once again I crawl to Him burdened down by the weight of my sin
"Forgive me Lord", I said to Him, "For once again I have sinned"
" I know not why , or how I failed, but once again for me to the cross you are nailed"
"You've shown me grace and shown me mercy, even though I come unworthy"
"My son", He said, "Do not crawl, run instead. For your sins were forgiven with me on that cross". "The very fact you are here, means you are not lost, for as you well know I've paid the cost". "The cost I paid for you to live, was oh so much more then you could give". "So come to me and lay down that weight and make straight way for the pearly gate". "Run fast and hard for the days are short, and to those passed by do not neglect to report, there's a cross for you if you should so choose, just ask the Son ,who came down from it! He now, does sit, at the throne of grace, were you may lose, the bonds of sin and find your gospel shoes".
Broken in humility is were I've found stability
In the cross
In the race
Broken in humility is were I've found stability
In the loss
In the grace
Broken in humility is were I've found stability
In the mind I left behind
story of a broken and contrite man
In the mind I put on
story of a broken and contrite man
My name is Shane it means "Given by YHWH"
His name in me is Jesus it means "YHWH Savoir"
It humbles me to see, to really see my brokenness on Him... to really see my sins and the justice my of sinning on Him Thank you Lord, dad, and please forgive me!
If you have just read this the you have perhaps experienced what it is to live for God and fail yet because of the hope in Christ OVERCOME. See We may get knocked down , so to speak, we may fail, but God our God knows that we are but dust and longs yes desires to forgive and accept us even when we fail and I know when I fail its because I fail to acknowledge Him, to keep Him on the for-front of my mind . It may be somewhat different for you but this is how He works with me.
Believe and have courage
Don't be discouraged
Even when times seem a little rough
Even when the world gives you stuff
Believe and have courage
For God is Love and knows how you feel
He created you and that’s on the real
Just believe
Have faith
Spread Love
Spread joy
Believe and have courage
