what i do when im bbsitting.. :)

Had two hours to kill after I put the kids to bed so i just started writing and this is what happened..


God I want you to be my rock that holds fast
Through the storms of this world, I want Jesus my main mast
So that nothing can shake me, not the world or it's pleasures
I only want your eternal treasures

But this world entices, tugs my heart like a riptide
The more I try, I fail, I need you on my side
Dark lies surround me, and pull me down their wide path
But truly I kno their promises dont last

Idk what to to, Idk where to start
I kno I need you, but "No!" says my heart
It's a battle oh Lord, and I'm going to lose
if you dont come to rescue me from this city of fools

See there a black spot on my heart that's started to grow,
With each compromise to sin it's starting to show.
I try and scrub it off with works, but it only get's bigger
I whisper, "go away" but the temptations still linger

With every step I take to you, I fall three back
I kno it's a relationship with Jesus I lack
I want my way so much I'm willing to lose, closeness to God,
the world I choose.

I try on my OWN to do things 'right'
but reallly if it's not my way, I continue to fight.
How am I so foolish, to throw it all away?
Under your loving mercy I don't deserve to stay.

Yet your grace still pours in, like a never-ending flood
It washes my heart, and cleanses the black mud.
Though I'v sinned and fall short of your glory,
you still love me, you've written my life story.

For sinners, I'll never forget what you've done.
You died a perfect death, and gave your only son.
So trusting in you I can peacefully rest,
knowing your plan for my life is always what's best.

Though life will get hard, and trials will pass,
I know your love for me will always last.
So I turn my eyes to you, and let all else fade.
You, my God have saved me by your mercy and grace.
