Lyrics

June 3rd 2016
Today I am burdened by my sin
I am in need of your grace,
I’m completely unworthy of it.
Sometimes I can’t recognize myself in the mirror
I begin to question my life
And in many ways, I try to be you
Not try to be like you.
I pray that one day I will no longer be this wicked
I know that you are calling me to yourself
And wisdom starts with obedience to you
I cannot stop running from you
Thank you for always calling me back to yourself
I am thankful that it is by your grace that I am saved.

I cried out for you to take me
And to swallow me whole
Who is this man, That I’ve come to know?
I keep on running from you
But your grace consumes me
I'm tired of comparing myself to the man that reflects me

So cast me out to sea, all I want is to flee
Just let the waves consume me
All The waters closed in around me

So cast me out to sea

So cast me out to sea

You are the one that moved mountains before you,
You are the one who can part the seas

Who am I to think I’m before you?
Who am I to think I am king?

Who am I to think I am before you?
Who am I to think that I am king?

Jonah 2:3
For you cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
passed over me.
