Saying NO

Saying NO is tough especially when I don't want to say no.
Especially when it's something I want.
Especially when it's just easier, better and more fun to say yes.
Especially when it's flattering.
Especially when it's making me feel important, valued and desired.

Saying NO is tough but I trust that it's what I should do.
Especially when I've been hurt and broken.
Especially when I've experienced forgiveness and redemption.
Especially when I've been saved by grace.
Especially when I've learned to love myself the way You love me.


I delight greatly in the Lord; 
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
(Isaiah 61:10 NIV)

Brokenness Aside

Will your grace run out

If I let you down

'Cause all I know

Is how to run

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

Will You call me child

When I tell you lies

'Cause all I know

Is how to cry

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

You make it beautiful

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies, oh yeah

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

You make it beautiful

Give Me Faith

There would be songs that would strike a chord within you - songs that would hit home. This is one of those songs that caused me to drop on my knees, cry in desperation and sing in worship to our almighty Father.

It may not make sense why we would ask the Lord to break us apart, to break our hearts with what breaks His but it means total surrender of our lives and circumstances to our great creator. Trusting Him with abandonment creates peace and freedom that we will never experience in a life without Him.


Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you;
he will never leave you or forsake you.
(Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)

Give Me Faith

I need You to soften my heart,

To break me apart.

I need You to open my eyes,

To see that You're shaping my life.

All I am,

I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

I need You to soften my heart,

To break me apart.

I need You to pierce through the dark

And cleanse every part of me.

I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

I may be weak, but

Your Spirit's strong in me.

My flesh may fail, but

My God You never will. (repeat 2x)

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.(repeat 2x)

I may be weak, but

Your Spirit's strong in me.

My flesh may fail, but

My God You never will.
