New Song: God-Shaped

God has taught me many lessons over the past year or two. One of the main lessons He has taught me is that I cannot sort out all of my problems by myself and that He is more than happy to sort them out for me. :)


Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"


John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.





VERSE 1
There was a hole in my heart
There was a gap in my soul
There was a hole in my heart it was God-shaped
I was left on my own 
It got harder to bear 
All my failures and all of my mistakes


CHORUS
He said "Come to me
With all of your worries and all of your pain
Just come to me and I will restore you and give you the strength
To carry on, to carry on


VERSE 2
Many lessons I've learned
On this road with my King
Many lessons I've learned about Jesus
I've learned about true love
And how nothing can compare
How nothing can compare to Jesus


BRIDGE
How many times have I disobeyed?
How many times have I walked away from You?
And how many times have you taught me that I cannot do this alone?
So I'll live for You, I'll live for You

New Song: Fullness of Joy (Psalm 16)

Here is a song I wrote based upon Psalm 16. I hope you like it :)

VERSE 1
In You I take refuge
Lord, You are my strength
There is no good apart from You, there's only You
Your love never fails
I'll never let go, I'll never let go

CHORUS
My heart is glad, my whole life rejoices
In you I stand, I lift up my voice
Your love and grace are all that I need
In your presence there's fullness of joy
In your presence there's fullness of joy

VERSE 2
You're my chosen portion
Lord, You hold my lot
Your pleasures are for evermore, there's always more
I'll never give up
You're the pathway to life, You're the pathway to life

BRIDGE
You're always before me
You're at my right hand
I cannot be shaken
In Your presence I stand
