Mar 21
I Was Baptized
I've been thinking
Been worried sick
I don't think I can keep doing this
I've been stuck in
My own sin
Been worried Heav'n won't let me in
I've been trying
It's sink or swim
But there's some lies that I keep swallowing
"I'm just tired,"
I tell myself.
Could it all be fixed with better health?
Not my body
It's my soul
I keep digging myself in a hole
Been reading scripture
Did I read wrong?
Has your hand been saving all along?
Jesus save me
I confess
That I need you just to do the rest
Take what I've got
It ain't much
Think I'll benefit from just your touch
I've been caught in
Oceans of sin
Can you bid me walk on waves again?
For people struggling with assurance of faith.
