Reason Or Rhyme

I only wanted to say

If you could find a way

To make some time for me

I'd love to see you today

Is there a chance that we

Can get together and be

Happy for a change

Why don't we try it and see

We've been apart for way too long

It's got to end

You know the feeling's much to strong

To try and pretend

That we don't need to be together

For all time

And to think we can defies

Reason or rhyme

I need to get you alone

Or call you on the phone

So you can hear my voice

And I can make myself known

I could say how I feel

And then our hearts can heal

Cause you are the only one for me

My love is real

Dear Lord

I am moved to be creative

But I don't know what to say

So the best thing I can think of

Is to bow my head and pray

And I realize that this is

What you've wanted all along

To come to you for everything

Not just words to fill my song

So I'm asking...

Dear Lord, tell me what to say

Tell me what to do

Can you show me how to live my life

As an offering to you

Give me ears to hear

Give me eyes to see

And the heart to do

All you ask of me

Into my heart you whisper

The answers which I seek

Well my body may be willing

But my spirit is so weak

I need faith and reassurance

That you'll never leave my side

Can you show me I can do all things

If I have you as my guide

Still I'm asking...

Oh my fear, it is so strong

I have lived with it so long

It has been my true companion

Nearly all my days

Now I'm asking you today

Can you take my fear away

And replace it with your confidence and grace

Every Time I Fail

Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing anymore

I try to stand alone but I tumble to the floor

The things I find I'm doing often leave me mystified

And I stumble over my pride

I like to think I'm free but I'm a slave unto myself

I wrap myself in chains 'til I can think of nothing else

I need someone to come and show me who I'm supposed to be

And you are always there to rescue me

Every time I fail

Is every time you save

Every time I fall

You pull me from the grave

Every time I'm weak

That's when you are strong

Even in my shame

You tell me I belong

Every time I fail

I must admit I really don't find joy in all my pains

But for your sake I'll suffer them and thank you all the same

Because it's through them I receive your all-sufficient grace

And my love for you is shining on my face

I want to tell the world about the power of your love

And testify to how your mercy saved me from above

I will boast upon my weakness, bear witness to my shame

You have raised me up from nothing so I proudly share your name
