Please Help Me

"Please help me," I say often,

In a little girls voice in my head.

Sometimes it's my adult voice too.

But I don't where I end and You, God, begins.

I don't know boundaries.

I am trying, but how hard?

I feel like if I just try harder it will happen.

Is that a lie too?

Please help me in the messages I get,

In every message I receive.

I am far too influenceable. 

I need You to filter things into me.

I still want to know things;

This doesn't take away my will.

I want to know the good and the bad,

But Jesus, I want You there with me.

Please show me everything. 

In Your time, because I trust You.

Help me to trust You.

I don't truly trust anyone, but I do You.

Because You know why.

I still question if I am looking for something

That is not there.

I know I am broken.

This is where I am right now.

This is how I feel.

Am I wrong to expect something from You, Jesus?

Even in the word game You are the Messiah.

Jesus, as I have prayed before,

I don't know now.

I have prayed so many things.

Please let the world know Your goodness.

There are Better Days Coming

It's a heart attack a minute
In this life down here on earth
We're all stranded right here in it
Wondering what it's worth
There are always threads of trouble
In this tangled web we weave
But tomorrow may just be ok
See here's what I believe

(chorus)
Better days are on the way my friend
Just a ways on down the line
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us better days

Well the storms won't stop descending
And the rain won't cease to fall
And there ain't no use pretending
Cause it's bound to find us all
Well it's easy to get hopeless
And drive yourself insane
But before you stop and set up shop
In the middle of the pain
Remember

(repeat chorus)

I know you've heard all the platitudes
About attitudes and positive thinking
But time just keep marching on
So just hold, on this too will pass
I know you'll see your face in a smile again

(repeat chorus x 2)

I believe in better days

The Mercies of the Lord

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing I will sing
What a mercy that I am in the church forever
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord

With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness Thy faithfulness
With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness to all generations

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing I will sing
What a mercy that I am in the church forever
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord

Shoulders

I look up to the mountains
Does my strength come from the mountains?
No, my strength comes from God
Who made heaven and earth, and the mountains

When confusion's my companion
And despair holds me for ransom
I will feel no fear
I know that You are near

When I'm caught deep in the valley
With chaos for my company
I'll find my comfort here
'Cause I know that You are near

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

You mend what once was shattered
And You turn my tears to laughter
Your forgiveness is my fortress
Oh, Your mercy is relentless

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true
