Too much Blabbing

This has quite possibly been one of the worst months of my life. I don't know how I got myself in this deep, but I managed to...I shouldn't be surprised. I feel so much anxiety, pressure, stress, chaos...and I don't know what to do. I'm trying to find peace in the Lord, but I can't when I feel like such a hypocrite. I know we all make mistakes and everything, but I don't know how to fix anything that's going on around me anymore. I know I just need to give it to God...I just wish I could see the whole picture..you know? Right when I think things are calming down I let my guards down, and then I feel like some one is right there to throw another thing at me. All I've gotta say is, I cannot wait for this trip to pigeon forge this weekend. I can't wait just to clear my mind of everything. I can't wait to spend a weekend with people who I know will encourage me in my walk just by simply being there and not saying anything important.
It seems like I'm being pulled and tugged at on so many different sides. I feel like in this spiritual battle I'm just holding my knees, rocking back and forth, hoping everything will just go away somehow. The crazy thing is, I don't know at what point exactly I ended up in this position. It all happens so fast I guess. Well, I know one thing for sure, God has me in His hand. Why am I so stupid? I shouldn't be this stressed. I know in 10 years this will hardly matter to me. "Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow."(Psalm 144:4)
Well, it was nice to vent a little...sorry it had to be on here. I know everything will be alright. "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."(Romans 8:28)

(written by Jennifir)

I have a fragile heart. It is so vulnerable. It craves only to be truly loved and I know deep inside my heart I am loved. By Jesus. I want more though. I want to be loved here on earth. I admit I am so afraid to open my heart. I take Proverbs 4:23 a little to literally sometimes and guard it so much I tend to mess things up. I think I have. I opened my heart and it becomes so vulnerable. So exposed. I get so scared I find myself sitting back with claws at ready expecting the worst. Not trusting enough. I have been hurt so badly, my heart so scarred that stepping out in faith where it is concerned is so very hard for me. And then it gets scratched a little and I guard it that much harder. I don't know what to do. How to be OK with the fact it may get scratched, bumped, or bruised. I have had such a difficult week. As I worked Friday I realized I had been trying so hard to please the wrong person. I should only want to be pleasing one person and that is Jesus. When I work hard to please anyone else, I mess things up. Seems like I am good at messing things up.

I feel as if I am such a mess. In all aspects of my life. I feel as if it is out of control. I am tired. Doing too much. Trying to keep up. I need a rest. In Hebrews 4:9-11 God tells us to rest. It is time for me to rest. Time for me to recoup. Time for me to get my heart back and cherish it the way God wants me to. I only want to be loved. To be happy. I admit now that I am lonely. I allowed my heart to open some, but it has been hurt and scarred so much that I have my hand on the door ready to slam it shut. I pray that there is a man here on earth who will truly love me enough to understand that and be patient with me. Not ignore me which seems to happen. I know that I have been wrong. I know it is hurtful the way I react. I am not making excuses. I am only asking for understanding. I am asking for forgiveness.

I am reaching out to Jesus asking Him please to forgive me because I know I do the same to Him. I am asking all those I do this to to forgive me. It is a stronghold I have. I see that now. I understand that now. I have asked God for clarity. This is what He has shown me. Now I ask Him for further healing and as I do I also ask him to help me overcome my unbelief. My unbelief that I am worthy to be healed. I am worthy because of His unfailing love to take the time on. He loves His little girl and always will. I know my Father doesn't want to see me hurting or my heart aching. I know He wants to use me and I ask Him to. I have so much love in this heart. He gave me a huge heart. A heart that desires to love. And to shout my love for Jesus out loud! Across the world. Oh, Father. I am sorry if I have turned my back on you in my quest for love. Help me to learn how to be happy and still stay focused on you. Oh Father. Why is it so hard? How do I love a man and still love you more? I know it can be done. But it seems I have been unable to do it so far. I don't want to be rigid. I want to be loved. I so desire to hear words of truth. After a year of heartache, serious brokenness, struggles in so many ways, and so much more, isn't it time for me to experience some real happiness. Truthful happiness?

I guess maybe it is not. You never did promise in your Word that life would be fair. In fact, you told us to share in Christs suffering. 1 Peter 4:12-19. I share in it. I rejoice in it. I realize that if this is how it is to be I continue to rejoice and cry out my love and gratitude to you, Father. If it is meant for me to spend my days here on earth struggling financially and never being a helper to a man than that is my destiny. I am trying very hard to accept that living sacrifice joyously. I admit it is hard though since I am a companion person. Since as a human, I need that. But if it is not meant for me I ask for peace with it and I love you all the more. The trial of loneliness is the thorn in my side and maybe it is a thorn you have decided to not remove.

I can't sleep because my mind is reeling with rejection once again. I am so exhausted. So ready to craw into a hole. The enemy has tried to prowl around me like a lion and while he has struck and hit a blow I know that Jesus has won. I know that this life is only temporary and I have the promise of eternal life where I will no longer suffer or be rejected but only sit at the feet of Jesus and worship! And feel true love. My humanness has a hard time grasping this and resting in that. As my heart is in turmoil and confusion I ask for prayers of discernment, clarity, and I don't know what else. I desire to do what is right by God, not by me. I get confused. I'm so sorry about this rambling but there is so much going on in my heart. I had to let it go. I had to bear my heart. There really is no rhyme or reason to it, just an aching heart trying to figure out where I went wrong so badly that I must be forgotten.

I give myself over to God. I ask the Holy Spirit to pray for me because I am at a loss as to what to pray right now.

A rambling blog of blessings....

(written by Jennifir)

Psalm 126:5-6

Those who plant in tears will harvest

with shouts of joy.

They weep as they go to plant their seed,

but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together

for the good of those who love God

and are called according to his purpose for them.

This blog may be a rambling. I can't help it. My heart is so full of the Holy Spirit! I love Jesus so much! Truly. He has blessed me greatly with my desire to please Him. To seek Him. I want my Daddy to be proud of me! I want to glorify Him. There is a reason Tabitha was dragged to Dalton's by our Father up in heaven. I needed the verse that was on the coffee mug. Psalm 37:4. God would be burning that verse on my heart in the weeks to follow in a way that had yet to happen. I am amazed and awed! Just amazed. Flabbergasted with the intensity of it! I am in love! Jesus was and is and is to come! Whoa! He permeates my every pore. He permeates every heart at Faith Community Church! I am so blessed to have walked through those doors. So blessed that those God instructed to show me the way to Faith obeyed and did just that!

Psalm 126:5-6 and Romans 8:28 come to my mind and my heart because they are two of so many verses that God has used to not pluck me out or completely extinguish bad or hurtful situations but to get me through them. To guide me through them. I know that I need to experience certain things and that God knows I will go through them but He won't always take me out of them but He will give me the strength to persevere. His word is rich with His encouraging loving words. His love is always with me. I am so comforted knowing that no matter what I do His love can never be taken from me. Romans 8:38-39 What a blessing. I don't deserve that but because my Daddy loves me that much He gives it to me! OH my!

I sit here and think of the tears that I have seen shed today. Huge things have graced my ears that are life changing in some people's lives. I ask for prayer for them. God will know who you are talking about. It is in hearing of these things that I realize just how blessed I really am. I am so blessed. I thank God everyday that I no longer am at a point to where I am so hopeless that suicide could be an option. I am blessed that the Lord even as a lost women who was pregnant at the age of 19 was given the chance to have another child a few years later. And to have been forgiven for that heinous sin. I beat myself up for it everyday and every time I looked at my beautiful little girl who lights up my world. I snuffed out the life of an innocent before they ever had a chance to live. I had to forgive myself for it and I finally have but only through the help of Christ. Only through His grace and His love. I am blessed with a roof over my head and a church family who helps me in so many ways. Through prayer, emotional, growth and so much more.

And I am so blessed and so grateful for the work the Lord has done in my life in the past year. (March 15 was one year since I came to Christ). I am blessed to have gone through the extreme heartaches I have gone through because they brought me closer to God and I know deep in my sinful, selfish heart if He had not broken me I would not have gotten so close. Thank you Lord for doing whatever it took! Whatever it took! I am so blessed. In these times when it is so easy to look at what I don't have, it is harder to really see what I do have and I am rich in so much!

We have this view that having money and material things makes us rich but it is not! I can't help but think of Matthew 6:19-21 as I type those words. Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Where ever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. I am so grateful for this! It is liberating to realize that all this here on earth is temporary. That I don't have to have "stuff". All I have to have is Jesus to be complete!

I have cried so much over the past year. More than I ever did. As I drove home I heard a chicken fried song and cried because it made me realize how much I love Jesus! I cried tears of joy. Don't ask me why the chicken fried song did that to me. It sounded happy and fruitless and much like Ecclesiastes! I'm rambling. I'm bubbling over with my love for Jesus! There is so much He has blessed me with I'd be here all night listing them. But the most important thing I have been blessed with is His unending love and grace!!!

I ask God to bless all those who read this!! I pray you feel the joy He has planted in my heart with the seeds of my tears. Tonight my words are the harvest! I sing with joy!!

Rhyme or Reason

Lord, You know I've seen You
Romance me a thousand ways
But I'll never forget the first time
That You took my breath away
Oh, a tiny whisper
Through a few words from a friend
But deep inside it felt
Just like a mighty rushing wind.

Chorus:
There is no rhyme or reason to
The love You give to me
I only know that through Your death
It's life You've given me
Lord, I want to promise You
With every breath I breathe
To be a living testament
For all the world to see.

I can't deny that I'm on fire
And hope it lasts forever
Your love has penetrated me
I feel light as a feather
Lord, take these works of my hands
And use them to Your glory
Lord, my existance from now on
Is to seek to give You joy.

(Repeat Chorus x2)

I Love Myself Today

Something about You
Just makes me so happy
Something in Your ways
Leaves me so giddy
Lord, it's the first time
I've felt this pretty
Oh Lord, its the first time
That I've felt this full

Chorus:
Something really clicked today
Under weight of Your devotion
Yeah, something finally clicked today
This is such a new emotion
I don't know where its coming from
I full so full of Your sunshine's rays
I can't believe that I finally
Truly love myself today.

You've given me a
New reason to believe
I just wanna take You in
With every breath I breathe
Oh Lord, You know I've never felt
So filled up with Your Joy
I know these three weeks
Can be the beginning only!

Stepping out in Faith

(written by Jennifir)

James 2:21-24: Don't you remember that our ancestor Abraham

was shown to be right with God by his actions

when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

You see, his faith and his actions worked together.

His actions made his faith complete.

And so it happened just as the Scriptures say:

"Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because

of his faith." He was even called the friend of God.

So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do,

not by faith alone. (NLT)

As I read this scripture today I contemplated. We are saved by grace which is amazing in itself and through the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross we are made right with God. What I thought of as I read these verses though was that God does not want me to sit around and just have faith, but SHOW my faith through good deeds. All we do to glorify God is worship. Whether it is a smile and we allow Christ within us to shine or we actually go to another country to minister. God has called me to show my faith even when it is weak. It actually allows Jesus to shine all that much more because I am weak and I step back and drop the reins. I give them over to Him. I allow Him to shine through me. All that I do in His name is to glorify Him. My heart aches for Jesus! I love Him so much. As I grow closer to Him, I learn to hear what it is, little by little, what it is He wants me to do. And it's not just with ministry. It's with my life. Things that are scary. Things in my life that if I listened to myself, I would never do. He has asked me to trust Him. To show my faith and trust Him.

My first example is tithing. I have been tithing most of the year. Since I was convicted to tithe. I realized a few weeks ago that I am supposed to tithe on my gross income not my net. No wonder I haven't seen much improvement. I had been shortchanging God. I went a few days struggling over this concept. Wondering if I should tithe my income tax refund. Doing so would be a huge step out in faith. A huge step out of my comfort zone. I can't help but think of the song Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns. The Holy Spirit kept nudging me on it. Convicting me. I kept thinking. That's a rent payment, deposit for Honduras, a new camera. I was torn. As I think on it I cannot help but think of Galatians 5:16 where Paul tells us to allow the Spirit to lead us. If you read further down he talks of the struggle between the sinful nature and the Holy Spirit. I had to step out in faith. Allow myself to be led by the Holy Spirit, not by my mind which sees things totally different. I obeyed. I payed my back tithe with a joyous heart. I know the Lord will reward me. He has in so many ways, but especially by filling me so full of Him. By really beginning to grow FFJ! By revealing others who are supposed to be involved! It is so exciting.

It was scary to give that much money away when I need it so much, but the Lord promises that He will take care of our needs Matthew 6:25. So, why should I be so afraid to obey and put my share into God's storehouse as He instructs in Malachi 3:10. I know He will provide. He has placed a desire in my heart for a ministry. And at first I had no idea which direction or how it would go. He began it here with a blog. He is slowly teaching me, slowly moving us forward. He reveals only as much as I need to know at the moment. He is giving me the desires of my heart and I rejoice. I realize that my desires are not what they were a year ago, a few months ago, even a couple of weeks ago. My desires are being transformed into His desires. I praise God for working on me. For molding me! I love it! It keeps me close to Him.

I go to Him now and ask Him to continue to ask me to step out in faith. To SHOW that I have faith in Him not just say I do by doing things I know I myself cannot do but can do because Christ is in me. Philippians 4:13. I know this seems like such a muddled blog, but it is what is on my heart. I am excited to follow Jesus! To glorify Him. To obey no matter how ludicrous it seems to me or those around me. My heart belongs to Jesus! I am His to use. I pray and ask him to use me. I am a living sacrifice. I thank Him for all the blessings. I rejoice in all the trials! I will continue to do the best I can to step out in faith. To trust Him when He tells me He will provide. When He places a peace so strong in my heart when He puts people into my life. He has blessed me abundantly and He doesn't have to! How can I wrap my puny, sinful, tiny mind around that?? I can't. No matter how hard I try. I trust you , Father! That is all I can do! I hide underneath your wings Father! You will take care of me and guide me and you will provide the means for anything you ask me to do! Thank you!!!

Psalm 91:2-4 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. (NLT)

Oh Father, Daddy, protect me. Guard my heart. Guide me! Fill me with your Spirit! I love you more than I could ever express! Thank you for setting me free!! Thank you! I am no longer a captive because of your amazing son, Jesus Christ my Lord!

Isaiah 61:1

prayer

One thing's for sure, we're definitely in a time of changes as of now. I just want to pray, and if anyone else is feeling similar feelings as I am then you can pray this with me =):



Father, there's so much going on in and around my life. I have no idea how you keep up with whole world, it's amazing to me. In this period of waiting and holding on to You and Your words, please just fill us with Your spirit, so we can bring glory to You every second of the way. God I've been up and down just this week. I feel like You're making preparations for something, and I think what drives most of us crazy, or me atleast, is that I don't know exactly what for. Whatever it is, I know it will be wonderful though if it's a plan from You.



Jeremiah 29:11-14"...For i know the plans i have for you," declares the lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and i will listen to you. you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. i will be found by you," declares the lord, "and will bring you back from captivity or will restore your fortunes. i will gather you from all the nations and places where i have banished you," declares the lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which i carried you into exile."



God, even through times like these I find that You've brought me to a point where even if I think the slightest thought of not spending time with You, or just thinking, it'll be alright to just go to bed now and not pray or anything because I'm too tired, I feel nauseated. I literally get sick to my stomach. I could never make it through this life without You. Thank You so much, Lord, for placing me on the path You've made for me long before the earth had any form. It's so unbelievable to actually have a destiny. Where was I headed before You led me to go to church and get saved? Apart from You there is nothing fulfilling or worthwhile. No wonder I was so depressed back then. Thank You, Dad. I love You so much! Thank you for keeping me in Your word, and putting it on my heart to stay close to You.



Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.



Jeremiah 32:40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them:I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.

New Titleless Song

The silence is unnerving
Filling my heart with dread
The captain of my ship was
Tossed off board and now is dead
That's when my soul looked to the east
Beneathe the rising sun
I've found a brand new captain
He's my Lord, the Perfect One.
With gentle steps He came aboard
Reviving my ghost ship
Set me free upon a higher course
Opposed to wandering adrift

Chorus:
I feel You gently whisper,
Calm the gale inside my soul
My tiny ship is tossed about
Wave to wave and to and fro
They tell me You're the Lighthouse
On a hill for all to see
But in times like this, Jesus
Your light shines for only me.

I spent last night on bended knee
Awaiting Your command
I felt the minutes pass me by
Like tiny grains of sand
Slipping through the center
Of a slender hourglass
I cannot comprehend it
Why my patience could not last
Today I feel so restless
I can't explain my wanderlust
I don't know why I can't sit still
Oh, now travel on I must.

Chorus x1 then music stops; Bridge: sing a capella

Bridge:
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art (repeat x1)

Note: should include a military march type drumbeat. :)

Random Rhymage. lol

Take one glance and you can tell
I ain’t your average girl
So crack my shell, See for yourself
I’m more than boots and pearls.

I can’t lie when I was small
I was Daddy’s Angel Child
I spent my days covered in mud
Doing things to make him smile.

Take one glance and you can tell
I ain’t your average girl
So crack my shell, See for yourself
I’m more than boots and pearls

I may be a little older now
And live in my own way
But I haven’t changed so much you see
I please Him everyday.

Take one glance and you can tell
I ain’t your average girl
So crack my shell, See for yourself
I’m more than boots and pearls

My earthly dad won’t last forever
But my father up above
Saved my life one day
And filled me with His love

Step from behind that bush already!

(Written by Jennifir)

This morning as I listened to Pastor Matt Pruett preach, he said something that struck a chord deep in my heart. Worship of God is the bottom line. There are so many ways to worship our Father. Prayer, praise, song, writing, helping others. Stepping out of our comfort zone as I did last night. I stood in front of a roomful of people, knees knocking and a microphone in my hand. I did learn that I need one of those hand less microphones. I tend to speak with my hands. I began to speak and the nervousness began to dissipate. I thanked Jesus for the fact there was no stage and my first speaking gig was in front of a small group, only around thirty to forty. I spent all week preparing mentally, digging in God's word. Finding verses that encouraged and empowered me as I was about to move to a new level in my spiritual growth. As I was about to truly obey and step out of my comfort zone.

I have been in Romans 8 all week. Praying these words to the Lord. Really chewing on them. Truly realizing that Christ IS in me and this is how I will be able to tell my story. To open the door to my heart in all its messiness to people I know and didn't know alike. To people who only knew the happy face of Jennifir. For the couple of weeks before I had been in Galatians 5 especially verse 16 where Paul advises us to let the Holy Spirit guide our lives. I took this to heart. I prayed and prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me. To use me to tell my story in order to glorify Jesus. This is a very important and special form of praise for me. Glorifying Jesus in how He is the hero of my story! Jesus is my hero! He saved me...He pulled my feet from the net of sin. From the web of satan's lies and deceit. Psalm 144:7! Jesus rescued me from death and set me into His family. He wrote my name in the lamb's book of life and promised me eternal life. John 3:16.

And so as I prepared for my debut as a speaker in a matter that is utmost in my heart I really began to dig and dig. Only God could provide the answers and encouragement I needed. He showed me to follow the Spirit in Romans 8:4. In Romans 8:9-11 He encouraged me with words that comforted me greatly. I would not be alone. Christ is in me. The Lord showed me that if the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lived in me then there was nothing I could not do because that Spirit is in me. It is that Spirit, Christ, who would provide the strength. The words. Even the appearance of nerves of steal! And of course there is Philippians 4:13. A very dear friend encouraged me with 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (NLT). This is a very good verse. God does not want us afraid. He wants us full of His power in order to obey Him. And He gives us self-discipline to do the studying and take the time to get close to Him to hear exactly what it is He wants us to do and say. It was a new way for me to lean on the Lord this week.

I have leaned on Him in times of heartache but not in a time of growth and excitement. A time of a chance to squeeze out the sponge of me all that I have taken in in my extreme thirst for all that is Jesus! What an exciting and honorable thing Jesus has given me! I love Him so. And so I read through and clung to all these verses and more as the day, the night, the hour came closer that I would step across the threshold of my comfort zone. I won't lie I spent most of my day looking for the perfect outfit. I wanted to look nice, but be comfortable as well. I was representing the King of Kings! The Lord of Lords! My husband! Isaiah 54:5!

And so I gave my testimony last night, Saturday night for amazing people. For the mother of Tonya Hunts funeral expenses. She passed away unexpectedly last month. I was honored to do something for them, to help them. To give back to people who have been living witnesses to me before and after my salvation. And it is only God appointed at it came to happen. One of my closest and dearest friends in Christ. Someone who I have a shared vision with Tabitha to develop Freaky For Jesus into an amazing ministry asked me to share my testimony at a show he would be playing. I asked him what church and he told me, Spirit and Truth Baptist Church. I asked him if it was in an old dentist office in Clyde. He told me, yes. I told him, I work with people who go there. I asked him what it was for and he said a benefit for Bill Robinson then he told me for Tonya and Aaron's mom and I was floored and knew that God was slapping me in the face with this opportunity. There was no way I could say no to this although I had said yes, the minute Keil had asked. I had already told him a few weeks earlier that I felt called to speak although the idea of it scared me half to death. Keil didn't know I had any kind of connection with them. And Keil works for the pastor of Spirit and Truth. It was no accident how all that came about. God set all of that up. All in all, over 800 dollars was raised and I pray that was enough. Tonya had to leave work in order to stay home and care for her father. Isn't God just amazing!!

As I tuck that rabbit back into its proper place after chasing it, I will return to my story, my little testimony of the first time I shared the testimony of my salvation. I was so scared. Standing in front of people, exposing the most delicate part of me, my heart, is no easy thing to do. It leaves me vulnerable. Yet I knew and have known for some time the Lord was going to call me to share my story in a scarier venue then the Internet. On the Internet I was in my comfort zone. Hidden from all eyes as I conveyed my story of how Jesus made a difference in my life.

I think back on Saturday night as I sit here. Now in hindsight I picture myself with the microphone in my hand, afraid I may accidentally turn it off, I recall how Adam and Eve hid from God once they realized there was such a thing as not being in a comfort zone. Genesis 3:8-10. They hid because they were naked. Because of sin now in the picture, they knew fear and exposure. They covered themselves up and hid. Found a comfort zone behind the trees. The Internet is my trees. The Lord said it is time for you to show yourself. Expose your heart for me. To glorify me. It is scary to expose one self in such a way. I was given the advice as Saturday night loomed ever closer and closer, to picture my audience as naked. Instead, I felt naked. And I opened the door to my heart and gave all that I had to the people listening. And let me say I didn't dread it, I was very excited because I was being given a chance to be used by God in a powerful way. A way that I would have to prove my dedication and love for Him. That despite my fears I loved Him so much, I would push past my fears and ask Him for his help and guidance in order to glorify Him. Praise Him! I feel that the Lord felt more genuine praise and love pouring from my human, sinful heart than if I had just sat in my room by myself and told my story. Going the extra mile is an act of worship and I was overjoyed, yet with wobbly knees to do it! He knew what it took for me to obey and worship Him in such a way. I can see Him smiling down at me, a proud Papa as I obeyed what the Lord asks all of us to do in Romans 10:9-17!

I praise Jesus with all my heart!! I am so in love with Jesus I am beside myself! He truly is all I need! I seek Him diligently. And as I grow closer and closer to Him I am finding that His desires are becoming my desires! Psalm 37:4! Amen to that!!!

God bless all who read this!!!

New Song...Without a Title

Note: Needs a title. Open for suggestions.

He held on to the only
Thing he'd ever known
He'd grown up thinking that
The music could save your soul
One day, an old time preacher man
Came and looked his way
Said, "Son, Christ is the one who
Can save your soul today."
He pursed his lips as he
Thought about those words
Then the Lord kicked in
And wiped away that smirk

Chorus:
That's when he gave in
And thought about his sins
He fell on his face
At this talk of amazing grace
He let the blood
Come and wash him like a flood
And then he stood again
Made a brand new man

A few years down the road he found
Himself lost without a place
He'd moved on and had
Forgotten the Lord's face
He was the father of three boys
And seperated from his wife
Music was once again his idol
and his heart was full of strife
He found a girl he though could
Maybe solve his troubles
Though she just pointed him right back
To the way and the Man
He'd sought after long ago.

Chorus
That's when he gave in
And thought about his sins
He fell on his face
At this talk of amazing grace
He let Jesus' blood
Come and wash him like a flood
And when he stood again
He'd become a brand new man.

This time he really understood
The path he was to follow
And when he truly thought of it
He knew his life was hollow
so... (repeat Chorus2)
