Desperate

I believe
God, Maker of heaven and earth
Has demanded perfection
Yet I am worlds away from that
How can the Holy One find favor in me?

He makes no mistakes
He is all powerful
I am unworthy
I am weak

Such foolishness losing sight of what is true
Looking at myself at pleasures of the world
His goodness and His faithfulness I forget
I try hard to do what is right
But all my attempts are futile

I run here and there
I beat my chest in anguish
Where is my hope?
Who will set me free?
My soul is in need of a savior

Look to Christ
Look at what He has already done
I am no longer bounded by sin and its power
No longer dead, no longer condemned
From children of wrath to heirs with Christ
He has set me free
In Christ we have life and victory

My soul clings to Christ
I cling to Christ
Rejoice for what was lost has been found
Mercy and grace God has shown upon sinners
I rejoice

"prayer"

Prayer by Simri Davis, Jeff Berry

Thou hast said to walk on water
But I stumble in the sand
Oh, to run and not grow weary
Jesus come and hold my hand

Promise me Thou won’t forsake me
For my life depends on Thee
Engrave it on my heart reminding
That Your truth has set me free

For I believe, yes I believe
Please help my unbelief
For I believe, yes I believe
Oh Lord,
Please help my unbelief

Thou art great and full of light
That no eye can yet unpeel
Please give to me only through your might
A heart that longs to kneel
