Jesus, you have carried me.

Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:22-24

Times - Tenth Avenue North

I know I need you.
I need to love you.
I love to see you, but its been so long.
I long to feel you.
I feel this need for you
and I need to hear you
is that so wrong?
.

Now you pull me near you
when we're close I fear you
still I'm afraid to tell you
all that I've done
are you done forgiving?
or can you look pass my pretending?
Lord, I'm so tired of defending
what I've become
what have I become?

.

.
I hear you say

"my love is over, its underneath,

its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me,

when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned 'is this for real?'
the times you've broken,

the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,
these times you're healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and are tempted to steal
in times of confusion

and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow

under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love I will keep you by my power alone
I dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
I'll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends.
