Songs

I love poetry but, am always afraid that people will judge me. I cannot fear people when writing is a way that I can worship the Lord. Here are some songs that I wrote with the help of Sarah Dromm. My prayer is that God would continue to break me of fearing what people think. I do not have to stand before people one day and be judged, I will stand before him.

Song 1
Verse 1
I was nervous and scared to fail or be alone,
yet I only confided in myself.
I was doing all I needed to come out on top,
yet I left you...I left you out.

Chorus
I used my crocked speech
to what I wanted and your plan still happened.
I held on to my pride
and fixated on myself but you waited patiently.

Verse 2
I was trapped in a battle of unbelief,
yet you never regretted choosing me.
I lived passively and found contentment
in my life. All the while you knew my heart.

Chorus
I used my crocked speech
to what I wanted and your plan still happened.
I held on to my pride
and fixated on myself but you waited patiently.


Song 2
Verse 1
I'm afraid to look back
on who I used to be.
Ashamed of where I've been
I hide my face.
I'm not who I was back then.
The people I've loved,
I never fully did.
The achievements I've made
were for selfish desires.

Chorus
Help me let it go.
Help me run to you.
Wipe those tears from my eyes.
Be my comfort now.
Your faithfulness is true.

Verse 2
I'm afraid to move forward
'cause all of my past.
Fear of the unknown,
I begin to settle.
I'm not as strong as you say.
You tell me to trust
but, I don't know how.
The price that you paid
was love in itself.

Chorus
Help me follow you.
Help me run to you.
Wipe those tears from my eyes.
Be my comfort now.
Your faithfulness is true.

Bridge (x3)
Help me to trust
good things come in your timing.

Chorus
Help me follow you.
Help me run to you.
Wipe those tears from my eyes.
Be my comfort now.
Your faithfulness is true.
