Just Because

Dogwood


I failed you before,
But you gave me a chance to do it over and over again.

How can I be, just like someone else,
When you let me do whatever I please. 
Born free to choose, but not to lose. 
What you gave me I have up so freely. 

Quarantine me from degradation. 
Help me stand strong in my faith.
I'm a weak man,
I'll do it again. 

Battle with my flesh,
Without you I can't win. 
Please control me.
Take me in your arms,
I need to be sheltered from harm. 

I failed before.
I'll fail you a million times more.
Don't show me the door,
Nurse me back to health. 
I'm ailing and I need your medicine. 

You're my doctor,
My father
And my friend,
This is not the end.

A new beginning, a fresh new start.
Lord I let you in and you filled my heart. 

I'm no Superman,
The "S" on my chest is for sin yet salvation 'cause I confessed.
How can I do,
The things you want me to? 
When you are perfect,
And I am not you. 
Grant me wisdom to see what's important. 
I'm not confided.

I failed before.
I'll fail you a millions times more.

I fall down on my knees,
To take a stand. 
Lord I lift my hands,
To reach out to you. 
Please grab a hold of me,
Never let go. 
Lord it's your will,
I need to show.
Trust in the Lord,
With all your heart. 

Lean not on your own understanding. 
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. 
I failed before.
I won't fail you anymore.
