Just Because

Just Because

Dogwood
(album: Through Thick and Thin)

I failed you before,
But you gave me a chance to do it over and over again.

How can I be, just like someone else,
When you let me do whatever I please.
Born free to choose, but not to lose.
What you gave me I have up so freely.

Quarantine me from degradation.
Help me stand strong in my faith.
I´m a weak man,
I´ll do it again.

Battle with my flesh,
Without you I can´t win.
Please control me.
Take me in your arms,
I need to be sheltered from harm.

I failed before.
I´ll fail you a million times more.
Don´t show me the door,
Nurse me back to health.
I´m ailing and I need your medicine.

You´re my doctor,
My father
And my friend,
This is not the end.

A new beginning, a fresh new start. Lord I let you in and you filled my heart.

I´m no Superman,
The "S" on my chest is for sin yet salvation ´cause I confessed.
How can I do,
The things you want me to?
When you are perfect,
And I am not you.
Grant me wisdom to see what´s important.
I´m not confided.

I failed before.
I´ll fail you a millions times more.

I fall down on my knees,
To take a stand.
Lord I lift my hands,
To reach out to you.
Please grab a hold of me,
Never let go.
Lord it´s your will,
I need to show.
Trust in the Lord,
With all your heart.

Lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
I failed before.
I won´t fail you anymore.
