I wrote this 16 March 2010. Thinking back to times I struggled, knowing trials that are before me now – this is a song of victory, but also a prayer for people I know b/c someday I hope to hear them sing something like this from their heart. That they would stop just living their dead life and rise again to start afresh in Christ.
My life was hanging by a thread
But I traded it for your hand instead
No longer dependent on this world’s sources
You fight for me with Heavenly forces
I don’t doubt your faithfulness
But at times I do doubt mine
I pray help me in my unbelief
As my heart changes with time
I sing a new song
Only for you
I live a new song
Worshipping you
Only you
To wash my hands of all my past
Means having faith only you will last
The Book of Life has my name inscribed
You died for me so I will survive
I don’t doubt your faithfulness
But at times I do doubt mine
I pray help me in my unbelief
As my heart changes with time
I sing a new song
Only for you
I live a new song
Worshipping you
Only you
My feet almost stepped over the edge
But I let you catch me with love instead
No longer sulking in my self-pity
I put my hope in you
and I wait with you
I sing a new song
Only for you
I live a new song
Worshipping you
I sing a new song
Only for you
I live a new song
Worshipping you
I sing a new song
Only for you
I live a new song
Worshipping you
Only you
Only you
Help me in my unbelief
As my heart changes with time
