Pride or Sacrifice

On my own
I tried to win
But I fell down
Due to sin

No matter how
Hard I tried
I know now
That it was pride

There is
No other way
But to accept
His Way

Only the Lord Jesus
Can pay the price
By His Blood so precious
As an acceptable sacrifice

Use Me Lord

Use my eyes Lord,
so that I might see.
All those who are,
seeking after Thee.

Use my ears Lord,
so that I may hear.
The crying out of those,
who live in constant fear.

Use my tongue Lord,
so that I may confess.
And tell the world,
of Your Righteousness.

Use my arms Lord,
so I may reach out.
And gather up those,
who are lost in doubt.

Use my legs Lord,
let them run free.
To bring Your sheep,
back unto Thee.

Use me Lord, 
use all of me.
Help me to find,
those who can't see.

1 John 3:18

Words Are Free

My words are free before I know
And now I want them back.
My tongue is quick, my will is slow
When senses leave the track.

I see the hurt within your eyes
And know I can’t erase
The pain induced by words unwise
And speech devoid of grace.

For words are free, but cost so much
when freely given reign.
Our words can bring a healing touch
or cut to deeper pain.

I wish to span this rift I formed
And pray we won’t relive.
I’m sorry now emotions stormed.
I beg you, “Please forgive!”

The only hope we have is love,
An everlasting bond.
This hurt, I pray, you’ll let go of
And we can move beyond.

For words are free before you know
And you can’t take them back.
Your tongue is quick, your will is slow
When senses leave the track.
