Lord, I try and I try again
but I always seem to fail before I begin.
I am calling Your name from the depths of the dark
for You to come and rescue my heart.

Under the weight of the world and the pressure to succeed
I have been forced down to my knees.
But that is where You want me to be,
to give up myself for the sake of me.

So I will give You all that I have,
a spirit that is broken and a heart that is sad.
So maybe, just maybe then I will see
that life is better when I'm down on my knees.

So amazing. On our knees is the most humble place we can be; offering God our everything. Thats when he shows us really who He is and who we are.

I can't be your superman

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, that is exactly where He wants us to be so then to prove to us when we feel powerless we are so much stronger and from mercy and weakness we only become greater in faith! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

this reminded me of a song with the same title. Its so powerful to know that we can speak to Him.. no need to go into the holy of holies to be connected with God. He is with us who accept Him, always...
ah seems I've gone off track here, what I meant to say was, I love it

Always God's Girl, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
