On My Own

On my own
 I am anything but lost
On my own
 I cannot afford the cost
Each time I try to do it
I never can get through it
Just can't live this life
on my own

On my own
 I lose sight of what's dear
On my own
 I forget to draw near
So I fall on my face
I slip from your grace
When I try to live life
 on my own

How many times must I find myself lying
Face down on the floor?
Broken down, weary, crying
"I can't go anymore."
Can't get up, but I have to move on
Only way out is through this
But I know I just can't do this
On my own

In my weakest moments
When I have no strength to stand
You lift me up and carry me
My tears are in your hands
You quitely whisper , "Trust me, Hold on"
And "You can not do this on your own."

My soul's song

O God, you are my rock, my fortress, my strong deliverer

In you alone I place my trust

You will provide my daily bread

I need not and must not compromise

You hear the cry of my soul, the cry of my heart

You do not turn away; you draw me closer, nearer

You hold my tears in the palm of your hand

You comfort me and give me peace that no one can understand

You take my fears, doubts and failures and make them fade away

My hope is in You alone O Lord

For You are ever faithful, everlasting and unchanged

You are the God of Abraham, Moses, Jacob, and David

You never grow weary of us, though we turn from You

Time and again, in disobedience and doubt

You walk with us through the fire and we are refined

You carry us to the mountaintops that we must climb

You restore us in the valley and give us rest

You, Lord alone are worthy to be praised

Words are not enough, our hearts cry out and voices sing to You

Our God, our Creator, our Healer, our Comforter, our strength, our Hope

You are our only need and we are yours

Take me Lord, empty me and fill me up with You so I may give Your LOVE away.
