Frank Sinatra once said- "I did it my way."
This page is.... my way. It's my testimony. It's my story. It's how I came to really find God.
This is a compilation of songs, of quotes, that i have heard and that have really hit me, and have somehow had an effect on me. It's bit's and pieces of things that i threw together to really make my story... mine. Maybe you'll recognise some of it. i hope you do. i hope you can relate to some of it.
This is for you. It's a look at what i feel. It's my way of showing you a very special part of me.
Spend all my time waiting, for that second chance.
For that break, That will make it okay.
Theres always some reason, to feel not good enough.
And everywhere I turn, vultures and thieves at my back.
So I sit here, cryin in the rain, and let my tears hit the ground.
I know inside that theres something bigger out there, but I can't put my finger on what it might be,
It's so hard to trust what you can't see.
And I can't fight tears that aint coming, Or the moment of truth in my lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah I bleed just to know I'm alive.
And please, Pass me another drink.
Make it strong, cuz I don't need to think.
And now, I'm caught in the middle. which way should I go?
Gravity's pulling me, but Heaven is calling me and
My head's spinning, this world is so twisted.
But then I realizeI am forgiven, because you were forsaken.
I'm accepted you were condemned.
I'm alive and well, your spirit is within me.
Because you died and rose again.
Amazing love...
How can it be?
That you my king...would die,
For me.
The more I read about You
The less I've cause to doubt you
What You say Lord,
Is the air I breathe.
Your holy presence, living in me.
And I am lost without you.
And I am desperate for you.
I will stay empty, I will keep waiting, I will stay empty, until you fill me up with you.
And now, when I am in that old place again,
Down on my face again,
I cry out.
I cry out.
To the friend I've found.
And What a friend I've found
Closer than a brother,
More intimate than a lover is Jesus,
Jesus
Jesus,
My friend forever
I cry out to him:
I want you to hear my plea.
Come down and rescue me,
How long will it take?
How long will I have to wait?
And all I want is all you have,
Come to me, rescue me, Fall on me with your love.
Because Lord,
You broke into this world of mine
Stole my heart, you robbed me blind
While I wasn't looking at all,
You took me by surprise.
I now see that life is short, but sweet for certain.
And I can't get past the evidence,
and I can't deny the truth,
I'll be the first to testify,
That I can't get past the evidence of you.
I see your fingerprints everywhere I look.
And I won't pretend to be perfect.
I'm as far from that as there is.
I slip, I fall, I sin, I struggle.
But you do what no man can do for me.
You pick me back up. You show me your truth.
And I can't deny the way I feel you inside me.
You're the only one who loves me as I am.
Always and forever, you are my Lord.
Relevant bible verses:
2 Corinthians Isaiah 8
Matthew 28 Romans 5 1 Corinthians 10
[3]Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, [4]who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. [5]For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. [6]If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. [7]And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
[15] Many of them will stumble;
they will fall and be broken,
they will be snared and captured.
[16] Bind up the testimony
and seal up the law among my disciples.
[17 ]I will wait for the Lord ,
who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.
[18]Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19]Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20]and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
[1]Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, [2]because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
[13]No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
