As they cut her from the wreck
<< Back
I Know Not Where to Turn
Here’s
my life Lord, I give it back to You,
It’s
all screwed up and wrinkled and I know not what to do.
No,
I haven’t taken care of it or treated it aright
I’ve
just done as I pleased and now behold the sight!
My
life is just a mess, I know not where to turn,
The
way I once knew right, I no longer can discern.
I’m
as a screwed up piece of paper, which seems to have no further use,
And
I’ve brought it upon myself by wrongdoing and abuse.
I’ve
been a subject of Satan, a slave of the lowest degree,
But
now I want to change, turn around and follow Thee.
Although
My current state is helpless, I know You can forgive,
I
here You whisper, “I am hope; Life that ye may live.”
Your
words, they do not condemn me, though Your face, it’s stained with tears.
Tears
that You’ve cried while I’ve been lost for many years.
Your
grace You freely offer, to cover my every sin,
And
by Your love You transform me starting from within.
You
never bring up my past or point out where I have wronged.
You
just take me in Your arms and give me strength for which I’ve longed.
You
assure me it’s alright, my sins are washed away.
You
paid the price on Calvary, You died for me that day.
You
call me Your child and tell me of Your love
And
then You speak of Heaven and the mansions built above.
You
talk of how You’ve built a place where I may one day live,
If
I’m willing to follow You, my heart, my life to give.
Then
You set me back on my feet showing me the way
Reminding
me when I’m tempted I only have to pray.
With
the assurance of Your love and that You’re just a prayer away,
I
set out once again strengthened to walk the narrow way.
