Forward? – Job 17:9
Have I come to a halt
Cease to move yet shake in fear
Neither going back
Yet barely moving forward
I’ve tried to wash these hands
Make them come so very clean
But always they show the stain
Of all that I’ve been
Now I long to move forward
Lift these heavy feet of mine
To embrace all that’s to be found
At the end of this path I’m on
Job 17:9
Dirty Hands – Job 17:9
I’ve held the dirt
Of a once tainted life
A face marked by turmoil
Searching for a way
Still the Lord heard my pleas
And opened my mind
To a life lived under His light
From my hand fell all my worries
My hands He made clean
With new faith I’m called righteous
His strength grows within me
As together we face each new day
Job 17:9
Letting Go Of The Artificial (Job 17:9)
I’ve held on to the artificial
In the hope that I could be free
It led me only to the shadows
Where my hopes were removed from me
Until I turned to You and found the truth
The love that could only be from God above
You lead me forward and make me strong
Into light I now walk within Your love
Job 17:9
Job 17:9
For the last ten or eleven months, moving forward has been a struggle, but now I feel I’ve let go of the comfort of the artificial and grasped tightly to the comfort of The Lord.
I feel more alive after this weekend than I have done in over a year.
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND by TENTH AVENUE NORTH
I won’t run, I will stay
I’m not leaving you!
I know there’s friction here
The struggle makes us new.
I wish you never thought you had to go,
Wish you never thought you had to leave!
Together we can lift each other up,
We can build a shelter for the weak!
No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don’t have to fight me, I am for you
We’re not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I see fear in your eyes, there’s no safety here
Oh, my friend, let me in, I will share your tears
I wish you never thought you had to go,
Wish you never thought you had to leave!
Together we can lift each other up,
We can build a shelter for the weak!
Oh, come on!
No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don’t have to fight me, I am for you
We’re not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let’s reach out to something higher!
Ain’t no life outside each other
(We are not alone!)
Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let’s reach out to something higher
Eyes open to one another
(We are not alone!) (x2)
No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don’t have to fight me, I am for you
We’re not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don’t have to fight me, I am for you
We’re not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
No man is alone!
Why you try to fight me?
We don’t have to do it alone!
We don’t have to do it alone!
We don’t have to do it alone!
