My necessity isn't food, people, things or a water basin

It's more, a heavenly being that I have set my foundation

On, see we all got problems I and you, you and me.

On this island it is the truth I seek

The truth to set my shackles free

From the bondage of this world, the bondage of debt, pain, and insecurities

I reside in a world filled with "Get the right body", "Get that Doctorate degree" all while trying to solve poverty

I search for the uncomfortable, for significance, for prudence, I search for G.O.D.

I find Him on my knees, eyes closed, sacrifice--absolute silence

Yet, my prayers are screeching

 

 

His word is my road map to survival

I cannot survive without God, without my Bible

He is truth, He is the way, He is life, He is love

Without HIm I face strife, I am disposed of

Alone on this island, alone with my thoughts

Means I'm alone with my demons bearing more than a loss

Loss of hope, joy, and peace-- profiting in only suffering

He didn't put me on this island, on this world to face these for no reason

I had to reach rock bottom to understand that He's the rock.

 

 

I can't live without His words

Words that comforted me in my depression

Defeated my anxiety, I am wrapped in His unfailing affection

 

 

The world says worthless, He says worth it

The world says you can't do it, He says He'll help me through it

The world says why are you here, He says because my bright future is near

The world says you are stupid, He says  I made you smart

The world says this and that, but what my King says goes and that's that.

I cannot stand to go another day trying to find other ways to be satisfied, to be filled, to be complete

My gas tank is on empy and I'm tired.

I cannot please the world and God. No shades of grey. (Jonathan McReynolds.)

I cannot survive on my own on this island. I cannot survive on my own understanding.

I am where I am, undeserving, and I thank God for completing me

I am safe, whole, and secure in Him
 

Trust Issues? They don't exist

Worries and doubt? What about it?

Hopelessness? LET THE SUN SHINE IN

I live to serve. He's my strength when I am weak. He's my life, He's my everything.

Died on the cross for our sins,rose again and now He lives

I live to bring Him glory because He is

All.

 I.

Need.

 

I can't breathe, I won't breathe without Him

My soul and heart yearns for His air, no one can see that I'm drowning

His word is my lifeboat, His word is my daily bread

He keeps me afloat, don't get it twisted He's alive not dead.

 

Without Him I have no purpose, my life has no meaning

I'm finite and He's infinite, He's the one I'm leaning

On, til the day I die (NewsBoys), let hope arise and let the darkness hide

My past is gone for I am covered by His grace

I will forever follow in His ways

So I lift my hands to Heaven with tears in my eyes as my heart cries

(Clayton Jennings) Jesus, Jesus, Jesus til the day I die.
