I'll Take Up My Cross

I can’t seem to hold the weight of me,
All of my pain has taken me to my knees.
All the struggles crumble my heart under pressure,
And I feel like everyone is out to get me.
I walk so carefully on the sidelines,
I speak so quietly so you won’t hear my hurts.

You always take my turbulence,
You always wake me from my deep sleep,
You let me love for free,
And take away the condemnation.          
So I will take up my cross,
And I will lose my life for you,
So, you can save my life from me.

I can’t seem to imagine the tears that fell from your face,
while I struggle to get my sinful head on straight.
These human hands can’t heal these wounds,
But you heal me even when I am wrong.
And I feel like I have forever failed you,
And I run away scared of my pain.
I bury my shame from everyone I knew.
But I never could have kept that from you.

You always shake the fear from my bones,
You always know how to comfort me.
You let this joy run free in me.
And you guide me along the way.
So I will take up my cross,
And I will lose my life for you,
So you can save my life from me.

The End Times?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).Mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV). But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10 NIV). An

Being Happy

Question; if you had one month to live could you truly be happy with your life? Maybe you lost something along the way. Maybe you completely ruined your lives by the choices you made. Honestly, I think we get so caught up with what we have done in our lives that it’s not really as important as we make it out to be. It’s not about boasting about all the accomplishments you have done or your wall of degrees. We feel that we need to be this machine in order to be this sinless person. We live believing that by the works I have done, that is what’s going to get me into heaven. I notice a lot of people in my city that go to help feed the homeless, but they come in and they feed, and then go home. What is wrong with this picture? Jesus sat with the homeless; eat with them, fellowshipped with the homeless. We can’t truly understand or relate with what people have been through unless we get down to their level. I feel like if this is the way people are severing God than it is all wrong. If yo

All I Need

Dropped to his knees, He sits reaching for freedom, Tears fall from his tired eyes. I do believe, I do believe, You are all I need. His already broken heart shatters again. As he reaches for those once empty pieces, They turn into dust… Here he lays begging and pleading, Let me see you’re beauty, Take my hand and lead me, Because I do believe, I do believe, You are all I need. My soul longs for your presence, You can have what is left of it. Mold me into your beauty, Because I do believe, I do believe, All I need is Jesus.
