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.
