I owe it all to my God...

Sometimes in life, I turn away from You because I want to. I know I don't always admit to it that way, but it's true. I say, "it's just this once and it'll be okay" Then I turn around and walk away from You. And then You reach for me and you call my name You say, my child please, don't go that way There's nothing there but pain and hurt for you. It doesn't take long before the fun is all gone and I'm alone, and hurt, and ashamed Then I hear a voice I know And with my head hung low I turn to you I say, "I'm sorry, Lord. I am so ashamed. I was wrong. I know things aren't the same, but if you'll use me, let me live my life for You." I owe everything to You I am nothing on my own All the grace that I've received and any way that I have grown Every sin that I've confessed and every seed that I have sown They're all because of You... Because you conquered death and you triumphed over sin Because you brought me to my knees and gave me life within Because you made me new Anything that I can do I owe it all to you. -Melissa Schworer Indeed, I owe everything to my faithful God. Our church just celebrated 25 years in exisitence and it brought to my attention once again how often we stray from God and yet He is ever-faithful with his blessings and love and mercy. Praise be to our Wonderful God!
