I wrote this song the other night... 16th of November. I was floored when i met up with the guys for our weekly cell group. And it was all about God. I was frustrated and just felt like giving up.. things that I expected weren't happening and i was sitting there blaming God. Bitter and frustrated.. struggling for like 2 months. But our God is Great and our God is awesome and his name is Renown. I realized i had a lot of things i had to come to Him with .... the song is based on Psalm 32. I've never written anything like it....

Confession

And I come to You, eyes shut head down, knees bent and tears falling down

Can You help me find my way back to You?
Can You bring me back to Who i knew?

*I was wrong, this is my song
I learned my lesson, now here's my confession (oh Lord)

Yesterday I tried it on my own
And my cries they burned right through my bones (ps.32:3)
And it sucked my strength like sommers heat (ps.32:4)
And it brought me to my knees (ps.32:5a)

And You said "it's alright" (ps.32:5b)
"I'll show you, what's right" (ps.32:8)

And i'll PRAISE YOU night and day
And i'll PRAISE YOU no words could ever say
And i'll CELEBRATE YOUR Love
And i'll PRAISE YOU LORD above, sing together (ps. 32:11)

And i'll PRAISE YOU LORD
And i'll PRAISE YOU OH GOD ABOVE
And i'll PRAISE YOU LORD
And i'll PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR LOVE *

so thats it.. maybe u'll get a chance to hear it sometime... leave a comment. "One life to live. One life HE gave so we could live. My life i give because of HIS" (that's part of something else i started writing..). His name renown (Isaiah 26:8), i'll post about "Passion" Toronto soon.. i been working through that verse for awhile.. since June word for word....

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstances
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of change
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the year
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Invictus by William Ernest Henley
