God, Not You
I am broken
Into bits, it might as well be
My bones--oh, they throb...
And my soul--oh, it moans...
So one might say
"Throw her away"
But God, not you
My heart is squeezed out
My spirit, lowly
Tossed to the wind to and fro,
And so I am forced to my knees
So one might believe,
"She'll never achieve",
But God, not you
Hatred floods my eyes,
Unforgiveness stirs in my soul
Bitter salt, hostile resentment adds
To all my shortcomings
And since because
I ask, "What is love?"
I don't believe it's for me
But it's then that God calls
Like lightning over the plains
He gloriously lights up the way,
A field of faith to the path I trod
And since I feel doubt
I lift my voice with a shout,
"God, why me?"
Because they say,
"Throw her away",
Because they believe,
"She'll never achieve",
I have called you by name
And without love,
There'd be no God above...
So come unto Me
1990s
