All your pain
Will be made mine
All your troubles
The tears you cry
Give it up
All that binds
I will place it on my shoulders
And up this hill I’ll climb
Father, give me strength
I know there is no other way
I lay down my life for you
This is the moment when all will be made new
I know that you don’t understand
But this is part of a greater plan
So I lay down my life for you
This is love
That had to bleed
To bring you mercy
To set you free
You are mine
I am yours
And I will wear your burdens
Just like this crown of thorns
I will take your place
I know there is no other way
I lay down my life for you
This is the moment when all will be made new
I know that you don’t understand
But this is part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you
Give me all your pride
Give me all your fears
Give me all your secrets
Give me all your tears
Give me all you doubt
Give me all your shame
Watch them wash away
Watch them wash away
Give me all your pride
Give me all your fears
Give me all your secrets
Give me all your tears
Give me all you doubt
Give me all your shame
Watch them wash away
In Jesus’ name
I lay down my life for you
This is the moment when all will be made new
I know that you don’t understand
But this is part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you
Though I know that you don’t understand
These scars are part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you
Arms stretched out
Upon this tree
To show true love
To set you free

The Redeemer -- Sanctus Real

Sometimes I just wanna start over
Cuz everything looks like a wreck
And I need the courage to carry on
Cuz I cant see whats ahead

And there are places Ive wished I could be
Battles Ive wanted to win
Dreams that have slipped through my hands
I may never be back again

But Im still a dreamer
A believer
Oh, I lost my faith in so many things
But I still believe in You
Cuz You can make anything new

Sometimes I just wish we could say
All the things that are easy to hear
Ignore the injustice we see
And explain every unanswered prayer
But Id rather speak honestly
And wear a tattered heart on my sleeve
Cuz in the middle of my broken dreams
Redemption is here

And Im still a dreamer
A believer
Oh, I lost my faith in so many things
But I still believe in You
Cuz You are the answer
The Redeemer
Oh, Ive given up on too many things
But Im not giving up on You
Cuz You can make anything new

I dont have every answer in life
But Im trusting You one day at a time
Cuz You can make a weak heart stay alive
Forever
And this is where heaven and earth collide
I lift my hands, I give my life
This is how my weary heart stays alive

Oh, Im still a dreamer
Still a believer
And You are the answer
The Redeemer
Cuz You can make anything new
Yeah, You can make anything new

So much complaning!!

well the first thing on my mind…
Why as christians…do we complain so much. For me…I have been finding myself complaining much more lately. Back at camp..here at home..at work…especially at work. I’m always saying how much I hate my job but trust me…I am very thankful for it! God didn’t give me a job so I can wake up every morning and dread coming here…so why not have joy and be thankful for it? Easier said than done but its a work in progress. Arbys pisses me off pretty easily sometimes…that’s for sure. By the way…I’m actually posting this from work. Break time…so I thought I would do this. But yeah. Why DO we complain so much. I mean it even says in scripture(I want to say phillipians) that we shouldn’t complain. It’s so easy though. Why won’t my hair do what I want it to do? Why can’t I lose weight? Why can’t I find a better job? Why do we do the things we do?! It’s so simple to sit there and complain and throw pity parties. Why do we rely on our friends to try to make us feel better when we all do the same sympathetic things. How about we hand them over to God…because He can do much better things and he has the true answers to your questions! So with that.. I had more but…I’m going to go back to work…and try my best to be positive. And not complain. Because let me tell you what…if I get plenty of opportunities to practice patience. :)
