100% Silver

I scream and shout

don't do that man

it doesn't glorify God,

and I scream and shout

FATHER FORGIVE ME

I am not living up to the image you created me to be


...I read your word today…

.

don't know how I do without

.

...I read your word today…

.

it tore me inside out


The line is right there in front of me

straight and narrow to eternity

but here I am, like a drunk man,

stumbling and falling... not able to stand.

I put your name to shame

as I fall out of place

SCREAMING come save me LORD

because I'm unrighteous to the core…


...I read your word today…

.

don't know how I do without

.

...I read your word today…

.

it tore me inside out


Is this it? you saved this?

for what purpose?

I can't promise I won't disappoint you!

every breath I take is undeserving

just calling on your name

LORD I AM NOT WORTHY


I'm evil…spiteful, wicked and undesirable

LORD JESUS you LOVE ME? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?!

My works are like filthy rags

SO WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER?!

I'm nothing…i'm nobody

my words mean nothing, promises of being Holy for you

are like little pieces of paper that disintegrate in your Holy waters.

LORD WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER?

Your 100% pure silver

I'm like a rusted tin can of dirt..

Yet you say you'll take this worthless material

and make it new, make it 100% pure like you

LORD WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER?!


The answer is NOTHING

yet you refine this unclean soul

through the wrath I deserved….

took my wickedness and faced the punishment


Now I offer this life of servitude

dying daily to the flesh you've subdued
