Don'T Give Up

Lord, You offered me your forgiveness, Your companionship and your love I accepted, and it was more then I could have ever dreamed of. You told me that the blood of your son Jesus Christ Cleansed me from all sins I understood but at first I didn't really feel that way within You told me that all have sinned And WILL come short of your glory. And that we have to die to our flesh daily But that's only half the story You told me not to dwell in the past, To forget all former things, To let go of all past sins Cause you are creating a new thing. You asked me if I could Somehow lay down my life for you I tried, and there were allot of issues That I began to go through You asked that I study your word To show myself approved I did, whenever I thought I had time Or felt like I was in the mood. You gave me heavenly gifts Although I couldn't figure out why I accepted them, but hardly used them Cause I was confused, and didn't want to try You asked me to use them daily In order to become more aware I tried to do that on allot of occasions But felt it was more then I could bear. You said that you would never Put more on me then I could bear. I tried to grasp that. But decided to discuss that one in prayer You told me to resist the devil, And that he would flee from me. I try, it’s a daily struggle But it does work, I have to agree You said through the storm, You would always provide a way out. I tried to understand But still had a feeling of doubt So I need to learn exactly how To let go and let God To be willing to walk the straight and narrow And give up this facade I've learned allot in my walk And I know that holding on to doubt Leaves no room for faith Which provides your way out. And without faith it's impossible To please the man upstairs We must believe that he exist And allow him to cast away our cares. So when ever we feel weak We need to fall to our knees And cry out to God And say Lord help me please Cause he actually knows what we need Before we even ask But until we speak with our mouths He will not perform the task So continue your walk And when ever there's a concern Seek God's face And his answer you will earn.
