Gusher Explosions!

Oh, God! Why do I fail You almost everyday?
Why can't I stand against temptation? Well, this is what I pray:
"Father, I know You have given me the strength to fight sin,
But please help me see this strength when I'm faced with temptation!
Yes, I know that when I fall, You will pick me up,
However, I am tired of falling and failing You. I've had enough.
I've had enough of sinning and disobeying You, Lord!
Fill me with strength, give me the knowledge of the truth of Your Word."

We say we are Christians, let's put action behind what we say!
No longer will I fall to the coaxing of this world day after day,
Lord, help me be a Christian in the true sense of the word, please.
Make me a true Christ-follower, this is my deepest plea!
Enlist conviction in my heart when temptation comes my way,
Make me pure and clean in Your eyes, this is what I pray!

As I read and learn Your Word, I feel strength building inside;
Wisdom that makes me see You are omnipresent. I know, from You, I can't hide.
This new knowledge grants me hope to know that You are always here,
I am never alone because You are with me, so what then shall I fear?
I shall fear nothing for You are all powerful, oh, my King!
You fill me with awe because of Your power; let the praises ring!
Everytime I stumble and think that there is no help for me now,
I remember Your power and I take Your hand to be picked up from the ground.

We say we are Christians, let's put action behind what we say!
No longer will I fall to the coaxing of this world day after day,
Lord, help me be a Christian in the true sense of the word, please.
Make me a true Christ-follower, this is my deepest plea!
Enlist conviction in my heart when temptation comes my way.
Make me pure and clean in Your eyes, this is what I pray!

Yes, it is true, in the past we were the Fallen!
Now, with Christ in our hearts, we are the Forgiven!

Have Fun Storming the Castle!

What is love? Is it something we say?
Is it something that we do everyday?
Is it a feeling that sometimes leaves pain inside,
And then, all of a sudden, destroys the pain and lies?
What is love? Please tell me!

But, oh, how blind am I?
To not see the true love of Jesus Christ!
Why do I seek the love of this world so rigorously?
Yet I seem to forget about Your love and mercy...
You are love! And You are all I need!

I need Your love that is so real!
I need You to help me heal,
From the open wounds I have received,
Because of the false love and lies I believed.

Can you ever really have your heart broken?
Or is it just a selfish term for not being chosen?
If so, then my generation is filled with selfishness.
But it also brings them the feeling of worthlessness.
If only they would see You, Jesus!

Your agape love is shown so perfectly,
So how do we fall for false love shown so deceitfully?
I don't want to fall for these lies ever again!
I'm tired of this bittersweet, ignorant satisfaction!
I know I need something more. I need You!

I need Your love that is so real!
I need You to help me heal,
From the open wounds I have received,
Because of the false love and lies I believed.
Jesus, open my eyes to Your love,
For I know that it is enough!
Enough to fill the voids left in me.
Jesus, my Savior, I want to "taste and see."
