If you feel like giving up, or ever have...

To the end
I'll stand.
Even when my failure
Threatens me
Beats me up
Leaves me for dead
I'll stand.
I won't give up.
When the fight inside overwhelms
When I can't get over my pride
I'll remember the one who died
And I'll stand.
When anguish tears at my soul
And I don't know where to go
Or even what I feel
I'll look to my Solid Rock
Wave the Freedom banner high
And not give up.
To the end
To the end I'll stand.
Even when lies become my truth
I'll deny their power
And look to the Book
That has all the answers.
I'll stand
Hand in hand
With my God
Whose love will sustain me
Through every up and down
Every joy and pain
Till the end I'll stand.

There’s nothing like smashing your finger to let out pent up emotions. Sometimes, when I don’t understand the Kingdom of God, I feel as if God leaves me. I can remember amazing wonderful times where He has met me and turned my life around, or flooded me with his love. But I let what people say confuse this assurance. But no, I won’t believe it. He has not left me. And He never will. And also, I think it’s okay to cry. He understands. He holds me. He never leaves me.

The Heart of God

God kissed
A merciless world

God suffered
As a man
Humiliated, broken
Separated, abandoned
To let himself feel
The pain of rejection
Or the unmatchable joy
Of a heart given

The heart of God
Breaks
But his love knows
It’s worth the cost

We spit in his face
We shame him every day
What do we know of love?
When will we see his face?

The passion of God
Will not relent
Until all his enemies
Have been forgiven
Until all his followers
Turn from their hypocritical ways

The blood of God
Was spilled
And freely spent
To show a lost world
What it means to live

It hurts more to forgive
Than to die
And that’s what he does
Every day
His pain has not gone away
Yes, victory is his
But people still choose

We shun him
We forget him
We reject and abuse him
Yet he hunts us down
He heals our wounds
He knows our pain
Gathers our tears
And his love
Will set us free

The heart of God
Is displayed
Every day
Can you begin to see
The longing in his heart
For you, his dear child?

Your love
Is worth more to him
Than anything

It’s the heart of God
Who kissed the very ones
Who denied him
Defiled him
And killed him
But his love remains the same
