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!
