Lay into me
And I'll keep pushing back
I won't cave in
I'm a stable structure
Built upon the faith of never
Giving up
'Cause that's never been an option
Despite my hardships
And self contemptment
I still view this life as something precious

Is it too late for me
To pick up the pace
To show you the face that I've hid for so long
Accept me
And all my mistakes
I'll never be perfect but I'll learn to embrace
All the grace that you graciously have placed in my two hands
I could never meet demands
But you'll love me where I am
I can't forgive who I've been
Looking up
Screaming out
How could you love me now
Swallowed by my selfishness
The guilt has run me down
Am I forgiven
For the sins that I've admitted
You'll show me love and I'll show you how
Contrite will shut forgiveness out

Coming to Terms

I've been running
Now three years in counting
And I can feel the pressure
It's building under my skin
I was told
I use to look and act so lively
That I was open and inviting
I would embrace the world around me
But now I spend my days in hiding
I don't feel the same today as I did before
I lost sight of you and now I
Don't know what I'm living for
So move me onward
The sound of your words
Remind me that I'm making progress
Reassure me
I'm second guessing
Every step I seem to make lately
Directs me
Incorrectly
I'm always in the wrong place all the time
Defined
By my failures
My sinful natures 'round my neck wasting my time
I can't pretend
That everything is ok
I can't pretend
I could live another day
With out you
Restore me
When I'm broken
Lift me up
When I am sinking
