The One Who Saves




Standing at the doorway to my fall
The gates of hell are waiting for the death of my soul
I feel it under my skin, grief devouring within
and everyone can see
This broken heart decaying out on display
And all the questions cant explain what's been done
Can't bring me healing from the deceit from the tongue
The vows that were said that day and the covenant made before God and me
Had a price to pay when they were broken and left to face

And I'm lying wounded here on this battleground
Trying hard to stop my hope from bleeding out
And I don't have strength to trust that you'll provide
Just take me back and leave me there to die, oh God tell me how

How do I praise through the pain?
How do I hope when it feels in vain?
Smile as the tears are falling in your hands
How do I trust through abandonment?
How do I wake up and face the day?
Be brave through the shame and believe I'll be okay
How do I call upon the Name of the one who saves?

How could I be prepared for the unexpected?
Abandoned so skillfully, betrayed and rejected
Oh my heart physically hurts I'm convinced I'm cursed I can't escape this world
There's a target on my back with nothing in me to counterattack. Oh I just want to give up
But God in your mercy I hear your voice while crying
You tell me "give me your anger and pour away your wine"
You say "immerse yourself in me then my daughter you'll see your true identity"
"And I'll breathe life into your bones and raise your heart from the dead"

Oh Father how do I see through your eyes of grace?
In this place I'm overwhelmed by so much hate
And I've tried but forgiveness is impossible on my own
The only place to take my wound is to your throne
So to walk through the fire...

I've gotta praise through the pain
I've gotta hope when it feels in vain
Smile as the tears are falling in your hands
I've gotta trust through abandonment
I've gotta wake up and face the day
Be brave through the shame and believe I'll be okay
When I call upon the Name of the one who saves

Well here I am
All I've got is my pain, my cigarettes and wine
I don't know how to let go
This is so much worse than words describe
You've gotta save me cuz faithful's your name
Show me who you are and remind my soul
That you're not done with me yet, no
You are my only reason...

That I can praise through the pain
Hope when it feels in vain
Smile as the tears are falling in your hands
Trust through abandonment
Wake up and face today
Be brave through the shame and believe I'll be okay
When I call upon the Name of the one who saves

Cuz I am yours, and you're my Father
The only one who saves

Mercy Abound

  Tell me Father, why does it have to be this way? All this fighting Where there was hope there’s now anxiety We used to stand proud, we used to speak loud Now we’re silenced by violence And all this anger, when’s it gonna stop? When’s enough, enough? Where do we draw the line, one death too many I'm, I’m hoping and praying You will bring us to our knees Cuz we’re in trouble All we see are enemies Oh let mercy abound Disarm all the hate that’s build from the ground Let justice be found Take the breath from the fear that’s holding us down Hear all our prayers oh Lord Once you were who we called So don’t let this country fall We need you God     Copyright ©️ Jan 2021 Charlotte Rose Marie

Honest

  Let’s sit down and talk about this for real yeah Nothing's off the table in here with You But no one wants to talk about how it feels The struggle is so real, what’s the idea? Hu Scripture says it best I feel like I'm burning with desire I just want to feel love, I’m missing that physical touch At times I wish I'd never even had it before Then I'd never know what I was missing yeah But I’m gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be faithful Oh, God tell me what do I do I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it, I’m gonna deny it, but let me be honest Oh God the obedience is hard Oh it’s so much harder when I see it all the time It hits me like a wave I thought I was fine Why’s there’s always someone there to whisper "cross the line" yeah, yeah, yeah The temptation I feel it in my body, it haunts me Just take it all away and give me the strength to walk away I just want to be obedient to what you say Oh I’m gonna be, gonna be,
