Restore and Heal

I lay my life before you God Each broken piece, each tear of my own self, I'm helpless Please, come restore and heal A life lived on my own strength has gotten me nowhere far This load I've tried to carry Has me beaten down and scarred The pain and guilt, the struggles Had me pushing you away When what I really needed was To get on my knees and pray Satan loved to whisper Loudly in my ear "You are to blame. You're worthless now And your God is nowhere near" Each word he spat upon my heart Sank me deeper into his lies But I wanted so badly to believe That God cared and heard my cries The hurt and anger coiled up Like a snake inside my heart Ready to strike at anyone Who dared to pull my facade apart But Jesus, with his gentle hands Started to chip away Every layer of my sadness Each pain from yesterday And with each piece that falls away I start to feel again Inside He finds my broken heart And with tenderness, begins to mend Thank you, Jesus, for your love For never giving up on me I come dragging this heavy burden To lay it at Your feet I lay my life before You God Each broken piece, each tear Of my own self, I'm helpless Please, come restore and heal *overflow of the heart while letting go of the past*
