Though I fall again and again
You grant me mercy over and over
Every time I displease You I'm in pain
Why is it so hard to find freedom?

God Almighty You gave me a glimpse
One summer of freedom, six weeks
Where I lived freely, in bliss
Why can I not find that freedom now?

The taste of true love, the way it felt
Lingers in my mind, making it hard
To concentrate on the present, it's a welt
Sore and red across my face -- hurting.

Why show love and freedom to me
If I cannot have it again?
You have given me the desire to be
Free and full of life and love.

God Almighty, blessed be Your Name
Your love for me is everlasting, eternal
Your mind never changes and Your Fame
Goes out before all peoples and nations.

Your mind, Your will, never stray
But I can't always see them, so please
God I pray that you grant me this
   -- show me the way
So that I may please You.

Father-God, let my love for You
Be a reflection of Your love for me
May I walk in Your Spirit with love
For You and for those around me.

God I'm confused. I'm lost, I'm weary.
Show me what to do, grant me peace
Your Word lights my path, give me grace
To follow it's shine -- wherever it leads.

His Word Is Truth

It is that whisper in your ear

   and the thunder that you fear

It is that thought in your head

   and the voice while in bed

It is written in the stars above

   and we can see declarations of His love

In the written Word He gave to us

   and in the many ways He speaks

In the things that He created

   and in the testimony He has given me

In the evidences of my salvation

   and in the love that I have for Him

     Christ alone has saved me

     Christ alone has bought me

     Christ alone owns me

     And Christ alone will take me

        to my eternal home

I praise God who has given me love

I praise God who has given me faith

I praise God who has given me passion

   a passion for truth

His Word is Truth
