Dear Lord
once upon a time
i saw Your standards were high
when I tried
I failed a thousand times
but I forgot Your love
and set Your grace aside
and slowly over time
my strength began to wane
i never truly
made Your love my Rock
and thus in my failure I waste away
Disheartened i rarely try anymore
Defeat has becomes the norm
and sin ruins my life...
Though I long for the days
when I sung Your praise
now in my shame
i can barely pray
So please help me to see the truth
that I can do nothing apart from You
and that as I try
to get it right
I bear fruit by Your Spirit
not by my own might
and that when I fail
I must not despair
For You love me and gave Yourself for me
the Cross shows You care
Finally Lord I ask
that You would be my Strength
that You'd encourage me
and lift me up again
and I want You as my Rock
always beneath my feet
so that i'll rely forever on Your love
in spite of the struggle i'll meet
