I have fallen down countless of times,
Falsely proclaiming that "I am fine!"
Flat on my face in every clime and place,
Looking to the ground for a sign of some grace.
Doing things my way
only led me astray.
A bottle, a run,
Until it no longer was fun.
Destroying who God so wonderfully made,
Increasingly drove me more and more insane.
Once again, lying flat on my face,
I longed for some hope, just a little grace.
Years flew by, hope no longer in sight,
I began to wonder
"Man, would I ever again see some light?"
Then one day as I began to cave,
I heard of a Savior who conquered the grave!
Hope at last!
And man it came so fast!
Before I knew it I was up off my...face!
Never before have I experienced such love,
That only our heavenly Father can give from above.
His Word gave me hope as I faced every mountain,
Jesus the Christ to my soul was a fountain.
Although I'm not perfect He graciously understands,
Here on this earth I am still just a man.
"Run with endurance!" my Savior exclaims,
"Never will I leave or forsake you" my Jesus proclaims!
Such words of encouragement WE JUST CANNOT FAIL!
A mighty wind is now blowing which catches my sails!
Today I still battle with demons and such,
But no longer do I stand on my old useless crutch.
My Jesus, my Savior 'cause of Him I'm a new man,
Today and forever by His strength ...I WILL STAND!
