Don't keep anything from me.
Your love, your grace, your compassion, your mercy.
I crave it all.
Jesus, without you, there is nothing.
My life is nothing.
This project is nothing.
My pursuit of happiness on this Earth will never fully come to bloom.
How can it?
Pain and suffering, grief and sadness, the bitterness of unfulfilled dreams.
I wish to know you more.
I long to long you.
Through my human error, I need you to shine bright.
Brighter than any sunrise.
I've experienced the world, and I've had enough.
Nothing compares to you.
No treasure, no special gift, no earthly treasure or bounty ever can compare to spending time with you.
On this Earth, or for eternity.

Quiet mornings with the creator lend a new light.
Not yet plagued by the world and it's emptiness.
Not a chance to be brought down by the unseen horrors.
Jesus, I still can't fathom how I ever lived without you in my life.
I no longer wish to live for myself.
I no longer wish to have the things of this world.
All I want is you.
All I want is to know you.
All I want is to live for you.
While it's great and dandy I live in such luxury, what purpose does it serve?
How does my life being others to you?
I'm not sure.
Jesus, I don't love this season of rest, even though I desperately needed it.
I cried out for so long to have rest, and now that I have it, I don't know what to do with it.
Refresh me in this time, and please do not let this season become a lifestyle.

I could be given a brand new home, and what would it bring? Nothing.
I could be given a brand new car, and what would it bring? Nothing.
I could be given enough money to never have to work again, and what would it bring? Nothing.
Temporary elation of useless treasures hold no real value.
Man could have anything he wanted.
Man did have everything, and it still wasn't enough.
Cast out of the Garden of Eden due to his lust for power and knowledge.
And, frankly, how am I any different?
Bogged down by uncertainty of my use for Christ.
I feel like my life is meaningless, just because I'm not some world wide famous martyr.
Is my mind really this broken, or is their just a seed that is planted that has yet to bare fruit?
Jesus, I don't know the answer.
Not sure if I ever will.
Please give my heart peace and rest while I wait.
Don't let my life be a waste.

Today is a day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
My situation, while not bleak, is not great.
Jesus, I don't know what fully is happening in my life, but I have the trust in you and you alone that you know what you are doing.
Son of God, I invite you into my soul this day.
I ask you not only to show me your great love and power, but Jesus, I so desire to be a beacon of light to anyone who knows me.
Jesus, be so radiant in my life that no one can deny your presence in my life and heart.
I may be plagued by sin.
Evil thoughts run through my mind day and night.
Not a day goes by without evil in my veins.
Even my good days bring you shame.
Jesus, not because of me, but because of you, I am saved.
Make this song be heard by anyone who needs to know you.
Jesus, I scream for joy that you let me have this outlet to scream your name.
People who hear this song, know that Jesus Christ is my king, my Lord, and my Savior.
Holy Spirit, fill their hearts with your loving conviction, and reveal yourself to all who hear and read these lyrics.
