Here I am once again
In need of starting again
Overwhelmed by the sin
And mistakes that drew me in
I do what is right
And try to be a light
Yet I detest this person staring back at me
Because once again, I’m not where I need to be
With everything that’s within me
I long to please you God
But why can’t I be strong,
Instead of falling back into wrong?
Tired and weary
I’m broken and on my face
As my tears fall, I pray you’ll draw near
To forgive and be with me here
Speak your words of comfort and peace
Make my heart at ease
Surround me with your grace
And strengthen me, help me leave this place
Although there is resistance
I press on with renewed strength
All of my existence
I know you’re by my side
I will never give up, in you I will abide
For I know with you God
There is nothing that I lack
And when I am attacked
I will run to you and faithfully endure
Strong and pure
You will smile at me, blameless and free
What a joy it will be
When I look at you and say,
You are worth it all.
