Me:

God I can't do this anymore

You sent me to do an impossible job

It's too hard

These temptations will **** me

I don't feel your power

I cry out to you but hear no reply

Where are you?

I need you to remove this adversity

I can't do it

I don't have the strength

This is too big

Jesus:

I told you I am with you

You're right these adversities are too big for you

But they're not too big for me

I stand beside you

I am the breath in your lungs

My power runs in your veins

These temptations form a thorn in your flesh

My Grace is enough for you

You haven't scratched the surface of the power you have at your call

I am enough for you

My Grace is sufficient for you

I am sufficient for you

I commanded you to keep going

What made you think these struggles were too big for me?

You stopped and questioned

You stopped and doubted

But I tell you

My Grace is sufficient

For you

Sometimes I feel like I'm lost with my head down

Like the weight of what I've done is going to make me drown

But Jesus gave me grace to win the race

How can I give something that was given to me?

What do I have to offer?

You gave me these hands

So I could punch through the trends

You gave me these legs merely so I could give them back to you

Sometimes I don't have a clue

You could've chosen someone better

Why me?!

I have nothing to offer you!!!

I stand in front of a lock and only you hold  the key

So why me!

You told me to tell the Gospel

Why would you send someone who should've been expelled

But you've allowed me to remain in your presence

I feel like you're burning my essence

I have nothing to bring to the table

I'm not even able

So every day I ask that you will take these legs

Take these arms

Shine through me like a fire

I don't want to just sell to the quickest buyer

Take my offering

Although it's pitiful

Everyday I hear all the bad things I've done

Whispers in my ear to end my life with a pun

But dear Devil

You can't haunt me with this guilt

You can't drive me to suicide

I decided years ago I would never take the cowards way out

When I accepted Christ as my savior I became a soldier

There are people God sent me to rescue by his strength

So don't you dare think that I will leave my brothers and sisters behind

You better get out of my head

Cause that knife may look good but Jesus is better

I will meet him on his time not mine

YOU BETTER GET OUT BEFORE I START SWINGING!!!

THESE ARMS WERE GIVEN TO CHRIST AND WHEN I SWING I SWING FOR DISTANCE!!!!

Christ saved me from my past

He saved me from a body cast

So you can't take my life

Because I serve as a soldier

And I stand with God

To the end of the line

Today another life lost

How many more lives will it cost?

Before we realize all the things we shouldn't have tossed

Get the 10 commandments of the walls

Let everyone live like they want

Cause man is just another animal

So why be formal

Get the rules out

But didn't the founding fathers say that the only way to win a bout

Was through religion and morality?

And didn't Reagan say that Christians were the key to keeping America great?

Even Washington knew his place

On his knees before God

When morality and religion were thrown out the door

More people send a bullet into their core

How many lives will it take before this nation

Gives up it's god of pride

And falls on it's knees before the God of Love

You made the dry bones rise and walk

You breathed the breathe of life into Adam

So I'm asking you now in this time of struggle

To breathe your spirit into these dry bones

Make them rise and walk

Did you know you were thought of before you were born?

The God who made you made a plan for you before the world began

When Jesus walked the Earth

He loved those in the world and came to save the world

And then the ones he came to save

Put him on a cross

He was beaten and whipped

He was bruised and battered by beatings that killed many

But he planned to take that pain

He knew he would do it

And he knew who he was doing it for

When he was put on that cross

He thought of you

He thought of your name

He thought of your personality

Your face

And he knew many of those he loved

Would reject him

Don't reject him

He loved you before you were even born
