Overcome Me

I need your help today
'Cause I can't help myself
I try in vain to do things my own way
But only end up hurting someone else

I've spent my whole life as
My own worst enemy
I've wrapped myself in so many chains
The you're the only one to set me free

You've overcome the world
Now overcome me
I stumble in the darkness
'Cause I'm too blind to see
Your plans are so much greater
Than mine could ever be
You've overcome the world
Please overcome me

I don't want to be
The cause of others' sin
Better that I go off by myself
If that's the way the healing can begin

I'll stay inside my shell
Where I can do no harm
Until the day when you have made me well
And given me a shelter from the storm

I have caused so much pain
To the ones that I love
And there's no way I can make it right
So I ask you today
Send your grace from above
And open my eyes so I see the light

Give Me A Reason

The feeling's coming once again

The memories invade and then

The weight of all my past mistakes

Comes crashing over me

Don't know how much more I can take

Before something in me breaks

And I fall apart in pieces

For all the world to see

 

I am calling out to you

Because it's all that I can do

 

God, give me a reason to survive

Give me a place where I can hide

Give me something I can hold on to

So I don't lay down and die

Give me a reason to believe

In the things that I can't see

Send your angel now to hold me

And your love to set me free

 

Am I crying out for help

Or feeling sorry for myself

Or is there really any difference

Looking through your eyes

Now my faith just seems too weak

To find the answers that I seek

Is your mercy great enough

For you to hear my cries

 

I'm tired of wearing a brave face

While I'm waiting for some grace

And wondering if it's ever going to show

Now I'm begging you today

To send a miracle my way

Because I won't be here tomorrow
