If I Were In Your Shoes...

“People say I’m the lucky one. Some folks think I’ve got it made but You know more than anyone of all that I’ve been through and I’ve only come this far because of You.
So many times I’ve walked away. But You reached out with a gentle hand when no one else was there and You gave me strength to help me carry on. Lord, I don’t know what I’d do without You.”

“Where there’s hate, give me love. Where there’s pride, make me humble. Where there’s pain, don’t let me feel resentment deep inside. I want You to make it right. So replace it with Your love in my heart. Just take out all the hatred and cleanse every part. When I’m tired, lift me up. When I’m weak Lord, don’t let me falter.
But if I fall, don’t let me harbor bitterness inside. I want You to take it out. Lord I just want to be like You; living in your perfect love in everything I do. So I’m yielding all to You to take out every wrong I feel inside.”

“When something in the deepest part of you is telling you the things you need to do; something in the very part of you is showing you the things you know are true; somewhere deep inside when you know it’s right. There’s just no other place for you to run.
When something deep inside your very soul and mind is begging you to do what must be done. And you know you’ve been running away too long.”

“There were times, I felt so all alone, everything went wrong; nobody seemed to care. There were times when I was so afraid. I wanted just to run away until You, You came along. I was so lost, lost inside myself. I couldn’t see anything else except my foolish pride. But You came and tore the walls on down, set my feet on higher ground. Now I know, I know who I am.
‘Cause You gave my life new meaning, gave my life the peace within my troubled mind to help me carry on. It may be hard believing for someone who can’t see it but I know it’s true; deep inside, I know it’s true.”*
