You Found Me

Leave a reply 
As I sit here and ponder my life
I wonder how I survived 
So many years without you, Lord
Walking close by my side

I looked for some purpose or meaning
But out of control I kept reeling 
I was a wreck without you, Lord 
Being my comfort and guide

Then you found me, 
Desperate and broken
You picked me up out of the ashes
Out of the miry clay I was in
You stood me up and turned me around
And I've never looked back since

There's a spring in my step today
I know you have shown me your ways
I am now safe in your arms, Lord
You're walking with me everyday 

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

You found me broken and put me together
You found me sickly and healed me forever
You found me lonely and said you’re my child
You found me restless your peace made me mild
You found me sinful and set my soul free
You found me drowning and you rescued me
You found me wandering and showed me the way
You found me angry and taught me to pray

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

Lay Your Burdens Down

 Early morning, waiting
 To hear the voice of God
 Calling to me deep within my heart
 Listening so intently
 For the Spirit's call
 
 Suddenly His voice comes like a shout
 I am here to heal you
 Lay your burdens down
 Let me touch you where it hurts the most
 I am here to save you
 Give me everything
 
 Let me hold you in my loving arms
 I hear Him calling, longing
 To draw me close to Him
 So he can speak so gently in my ear
 I slowly turn to greet Him
 Into my life this day
 
 And then I hear Him speak some words of cheer
 I am here to rescue
 Take you from your trials
 Bring you into freedom from your flesh
 Let me overwhelm you
 Fill you with my grace
 
 Give you faith to overcome your fears
 Finally I yield to Him
 Peace does flood my soul
 The world and all its trials fades away
 I'm leaning on His bosom
 He holds me in His arms
 
 I'm ready to go out and face the day
 For He has come and spoken
 Truth into my life
 That He is with everywhere I go
 And I can rest assured
 That He is always mine
 And in His loving hands I find my home.
