Times

I feel recently I have been disconnected from my Lord and Savior. That has been my own doing, not going to church, not reading my daily Bible chapters. I began to sink and feel really low and sad. I went to church this morning and was listening to the Christian radio station. I felt good and very happy. How can someone who isn't Christian get through their day to day life? I have grown up with church and being a part of God and his family so maybe I wouldn't ever understand how someone could live without him. He is a part of who I am. Even when I throw him by the wayside when my life gets to busy and then decide to pick him back up when I'm sad and alone and need him. He will never leave me and thats a pretty darn amazing feeling. Here is a song by 10th Avenue North that expresses better than I ever could the amazingness of God!


Times

I know I need you
I need to love you
I love to see you, but its been so long
I long to feel you
I feel this need for you
and I need to hear you
is that so wrong?
now you pulled me near you
when we're close I fear you
still I'm afraid to tell you
all that I've done
are you done forgiving?
or can you look past my pretending?
Lord I'm so tired of defending what I've become
what have I become?

I hear you say "my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between,
the times you doubt me, when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned is this for real?
the times you've broken, the times that you mend
the times that you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath,
its inside, its in between
these times you're healing
and when you're heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting
the times that you heal
the time you go hungry and are tempted to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
I'm there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
I'm there through your heartache
I'm there in the storm
my love I will keep you by my power alone
I dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
I'll never forsake you
My love never ends, it never ends."
