Fallen

We have fallen far from grace,
We have fallen flat on our face.
We have turned our eyes away,
And we have led ourselves astray.

Why have we fallen to the wayside?
Why do we think we can hide?
We have been blinded by our sin,
It is not hidden to God, but to men.

We cannot survive in the world alone,
And we know that we are sin-prone.
You showed me how to rise above,
And You did so by Your love.

Finish Well

I stand at the starting line,
Looking to my God, divine.
You know the race before you,
And you know what to do.

Many things pass my gaze,
And these are very wicked days.
Forget not the goal ahead,
And continue to press on instead.

The higher call I have taken on,
And Christ's blood did for me atone.
Though the race be long and hard,
I know that I must be on my guard.

The finish line is in the distance,
And I face much resistance.
My God stands waiting there,
Waiting in glory, our victory to share.

Committed To You

I am committed to you,
In everything I say and do.
I am bound to you till death,
I will uphold you till my dying breath.

Though storms rise and mountains crumble,
I with the Lord's help will not stumble.
Though perfect I am not,
I will give it all I have got.

Though some may fall short,
And forget others to exhort.
Though some may dwell on the temporary,
I will go the distance and be extraordinary.

I will ever stay true to the one I love,
And with blessing from God above,
I will uphold my love and my mate,
And with my love there is no expiration date.

I am committed to you,
And I will see this commitment through.
I will not turn my family away,
And will not this love betray.

Clean Me Within

Cleanliness is not in the things that you do,
But in following Christ and letting Him be seen through you.
Cast off the rags that we have clothed ourselves in,
Repent of the unholy, and seek forgiveness of your sin.

Wash yourselves in the cleansing flood,
And know that Christ gave His life and shed His blood.
Have you averted your eyes,
And believed in Satan's lies?

Now being washed and fully cleansed,
And we are by Him recompensed.
My soul does rejoice for it is now clean,
Because now Christ can clearly be seen.
