I'm tired of breaking it

God when I step across these lines

It keeps getting easier to cross every time

Father

I'm so imperfect

I need your forgiveness

You have blessed me

And I keep breaking conscience in two

I take those promises I made to you and crack them over my knee

You give me grace

And I give you these ****** hands

I dropped my guns

Gave up the fight

My fire is dimming

Dear Jesus

I'm tired of fighting you

When I should be fighting these demons

Yet I join them

Please forgive me

I guess this is more of a prayer

But dear God

I struggle with putting you first

I want to be better at it

I say I put you first

But sometimes these priorities get mixed up in my mind

You know I'm not perfect

Yet you love me

You are a God of Love

I want to get my heart back on track

But I need your Grace

I came to you today

With a sincere heart

I haven't come in a while

I ask you would forgive me

Every time I come before you

All I can ever think

Is to come on my knees

Caleb

Your God called you to life

So why do you cling to death

Let go of your Gods

Remain steadfast in who you are

Remain strong in what you know to be true

This world has nothing for you

Cling to your God

I was called to be a man of God

But how can I

You're supposed to count on me

But I can't even count on myself

Jesus gave me salvation and called me to something I couldn't complete

I tried on my own, thinking I'd do something right

But I failed

So I hope one day

Through Gods power

I can be the man you can count on

I want you to know I'm trying

But I can't fight the currents

I tried and died

I realized

That to do what's right

I have to submit to God's river

I can't control the currents

But I can flow with them

I hope I can be that man for you

My God gave me a sword

He gave me a shield

He gave me Grace

He gave me Joy

He gave Life

My God is my strength

He's the only reason I'm alive

His power is magnificent

His grace is Sufficient

He resides in this heart

Jesus power runs in my veins

When I stand on his side

I'm unstoppable

When I go against him

I lose the strength he gave me

So I will stand on the Lords side

For the Lord is always Right

His Power

Is always righteous

You tried to weigh me down

You tried to take my crown

Tried to be the only sound

You thought I was something you could pound

Then I realized the power of a single cry

When I asked why?

A new breath filled my lungs

A new spirit took a hold of me

Then this body, filled strength

Out ran a cage

By the power of Grace

By the power of God

I leave you in the dust

I enjoy my freedom

I enjoy life

I have joy

So stay in the dust
