So I was going through my journal, and I found these from this summer, and I wrote them kind of as prayers. but yeah...I'm just going to say, God has been faithful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes I want to walk forever
And let the hurt I know
just melt away
escape the heaviness that comes with this
feeling,
maybe, maybe today
I'll fly free from all the circumstances
Or maybe tomorrow it'll happen

Sooner or later, tomorrow or today
Just let it be today, let it be today

O God, why can't I find you?
Why do I run away
I know you want to heal this hurting
If only I could stay kneeling
At your feet, at the cross
If only I could stay resting
In your arms
Maybe today, maybe today
Maybe tomorrow it'll happen
Sooner or later, tomorrow or today

Just let it be today, let it be today

all my doubt is in vain
when You peel away
at all the layers I use
to hide who I really am
from You
(who am I kidding, I can't hide)
and I'm surprised to find
You still love me, You still love me,
You still love me
I was never enough, but You still covered me
You still cover me

even though I see the mess
I won't begin to understand
how great is Your salvation
the length of Your salvation
the heights of Your salvation-
with all the sin still hiding there,
Your blood covers me.
