You delivered my soul from condemnation, keep me from stumbling (Psalm 56:13) In the toughest of times, keeping me in line, Through the trials and the oppositional sufferings Losing everything I ever worked for, thinking life is over, so I turned to You Then You showed me that losing everything to gain Christ Is the pinnacle of life, eternal life is knowing You In the midst of my suffering, there You are standing close never remaining afar Giving me child-like faith, I know You'll catch me Father if I let go of the bars There is no other like You, there is no other that's true Faithful with never-ending compassionate lovingkindness in everything that You do! Hosanna, Hosanna, yes, You are mighty to save Hosanna, Hosanna, Hallelujah, You conquered the grave! My Savior, You lift me up when my heavy heart is weary My Redeemer, Your love never fails and is always constantly near me! My Shelter and my refuge, the One who knows my heart For the joy set before You, our salvation, You endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2) So I consider all my sufferings at the present time Unworthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us! (Rom. 8:18) You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything O Lord, You're incredibly patient; Your love, it overwhelms. Though I mess up every single day you hold me close; In Your house, I choose to dwell. Sometimes my ways are crooked, misguided, or straight up wrong. Often I put up a front, for my friends, that I am strong. I don't wanna show my weakness; I gotta have it all together when I'm talking bout Jesus. I must be perfect; Who wants to listen to a guy who's flawed and conceited? Look at your other brothers with solid discourse and are never flustered; You need to brush up on your speech, it's lacking luster. My best was never good enough; compared to other saints I didn't measure up. I failed again. Man, I feel like giving up. Such an empty life; God, I need Your holy touch. My heart said I didn't need your mercy, but you called my bluff. You saw right through me; I'm just a little kid trying to act all tough. My calloused heart turned fleshy; the walls are crumbling down. I don't need to look a certain way; I don't gotta have a certain style. I've regained my vision and my sin has been exposed. God, thank you for setting me straight back on this narrow road. You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything

Our love for each other was so pure I looked out for you, you reached out to me We would never be separated by simple aberrations 'Cause of regular collaborations Yes, our times together were so sweet And on the weekends we would have our meetings You were seeking my attention You called me every single day for conversation You were confident even when the problems hit Obstacles and potholes were challenges You trusted me amidst your disarray I hoped you stayed to hear what I had to say My encouragement was your strength to carry on Even though you relied on Dom Perignon You wanted a higher love, I provided You are my bride, why did you fight it? You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change No matter what the world says about you Truth will always stand and it'll bear fruit Sometimes you're embarrassed of me And yet so arrogant to your peers like Pharisees Heresy floats on the surface Instead of building on my rock, you decide to throw them You would greet me with a cloaked passion But lacked the compassion, you actor You act up, attracted to blasphe Me, myself, and I mentality The fallacy in that you ain't really worthy You're not the master says Luke 17 I married you, I've tasted the tea you brewed If you ain't hot for me, then you're dispensable I don't care how sweet you were Today make sure you pick up my cross and follow my word You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You're holding out for something big to happen All you really need are my arms to be wrapped in You know that But you refuse to admit that I am the only one that you're lackin' What happened to the passion? You're lazy Letting all the stupid things drive you crazy I told you, I am everything you're ever gonna need So please let go of it all You see the pain that I felt for you then? The gift you received with your every single amen? It's been a few days, months or years Since the last time I took away your fears, your tears I miss you, well did you know that? I paid the price so you never gotta look back All I want is to love and be loved in return You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change

Please understand I've been to sunday service every week. Steadily taking my notes and happily going to every retreat. Serving the youth is a blast, but it's almost like a duty. I'm running through the motions, except nobody can see right through me. I know the rituals, what tools to use to fix you up. Heard marvelous testimonies, but they all seem fictional. I've been told that Christ alone is sufficient. The Bible's so insipid, my soul isn't convinced to live different. (CL) Well, the reason alone, we're prone to live condoning what the Lord has shown Makin excuses, refusing to move just a step back allowing the Lord to use us We just goto church, through the motions, losing focus on what truly brought us there in the first place So we're doing plenty, but we're feelin empty, works rather than faith has become the main focus If that's the case the cross is emptied, Christ is nullified and He died for nothing But we signify that our works justify our place, we're living mediocre doing something That's the issue, we're fixed to the thigns that we're doing thinking we're drawing ever closer to Christ When the real picture is an intimate relationship, no wonder no desire lies to give up your life (J.Han) See that's the thing, I know I gotta give up my life to the King. But it's just so hard cause I keep on falling every time I step into the ring. Even though I'm busy I still try to go and read a passage. At least I'm not out drinking or partying like a savage. I'm pretty sure you cannot lose salvation when you believe in Christ. Plus if you profess Him as Lord with your mouth, then you got eternal life. I think that's Romans 10, but bro it's my time to go. It's been a long day, so I gotta make my way back home. "Who is that? Wait... I think it is... gasp... Lord, Lord! Here I am! It's my time to enter your Kingdom Lord. I'm really excited to sing with the angels and worship you Lord. Wait, what's happening? Why do I see darkness? Noooo!!! All this time I thought my future was secure. But I was such a fool, I was so sure I was kosher. Now I gotta deal with this gnashing of teeth and burning flames. Please! I don't wanna be like the rich man, give me one more day! RING! Hello? Chung, man I'm so glad you called, I just had a horrible dream." (CL) Your vision my brother is true to the very word spoken from Jesus our Lord Matthew 7: 21-22, He's seeking those living His will that's for sure We can't be speaking His name and living according to selfish desires Revelation 3: 16, He's spewing the lukewarm into the fire It's easy to claim that were Christians, confessing His name as Jesus the Christ But how is your heart conditioned, indifferent? won't even give up your life. You say you believe but the context in Greek defines the word, to commit And here we are giving up nothing, masking ourselves as truly legit Confess or professing His name acknowledging He is Lord above all Includes dependance on Him for we cannot stand, without Jesus we'll fall It's more than saying the words, its backing it up and walking the walk But the Scripture's been watered so down, we think we are saved by merely our talk (J.Han) Wow! I thought that going to church was enough for me. But now I see my wrongs, I need deeper intimacy. I need to commit, by giving my all to my savior Christ. I lay my own desires down, Lord I give You my life.
