Your hands, they're trembling again.
Mine are too.
I reach out to save you,
but suddenly I'm grasping a ledge.
I didn't ask for this, but somehow,
I gave myself a role.
You didn't ask for this, but somehow,
I claimed you as mine.
There's so many of you!
What am I supposed to do?
Can I even do anything?
No, I can't.
I can't save even a single life.
That power doesn't lie with me,
not in the least.
Yet there is a hope!
A hope beyond me.
A hope that transcends time;
a force greater than I can imagine!
On a tree, this hope was hung.
A man judged for all time,
A God who sacrificed all he had,
for the sake of monsters like us.
Yes, this hero, this God-man, this Jesus
died and was raised to life.
This Savior who came for us,
who claimed His children's lives as His own.
He will save you, not me!
I have no hope to give on my own,
but that Jesus died, bearing your sin
and killing it forever.
He will claim those who are His,
and He will save them.
I'm no savior, and I don't have to try to be.
Oftentimes I make myself think I have to be a hero for everyone around me, and I forget that God is in control. This is a little reminder of that.
