I keep trying to find a life
on my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I dowhat's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
this only serves to confirm my suspicions
that I'm still a man in need of a SaviorI want to be in the light
as You are in the light
I want to shine like the stars in the Heavens
oh, Lord be my light and be my Salvation
'cause all I want is to be in the light
all I want is to be in the lightthe disease of self runs through my blood
it's a cancer fatal to my soul
every attempt on my behalf has failed
to bring this sickness under controlhonesty becomes me
(there's nothing left to lose)
the secrets that did run me
(in Your Presence are defused)
pride has no position
(and riches have no worth)
the fame that once did cover me
( has been sentenced to this earth)
has been sentenced to this earth

Help Me Not Take You for Granted
O God, thank-you for giving me my voice back.It's something I take for granted far too often.What if I never talked again?How would I then take your message to my friends?O God, I'm crying out to you right now.Please help me never to take you for granted again.Please forgive me, I know I don't deserve this love, mercy, or forgiveness ever again.You have been so good to me, no matter whatever happens to me!

Zita, that is really cool! I know what you mean it is kind of scary to think what if I lost my voice. I am reading that book in Spanish and the cook that stayed the longest in Mama Elena's house was the cook who was deaf and mute. And when I read that I really thought about that, and thanked God for making me, me! So often we do take God for granted. Thank you Zita for that post.
