Everything I Hold
Redemption's Anthem: Unveiling Inner Struggles
Lyrics
I'm the cause of my own suffering
I acknowledge that I am responsible for my own suffering.
My mind is flawed and my heart's not clean
I recognize flaws in my thinking and impurity in my heart.
But You stooped down to wash my filthy feet
You, presumably a divine figure, graciously cleansed my impure self.
Lord how long till you crush it underneath?
How long until you eliminate these imperfections?
I'll give this a shot
I am willing to attempt something, take risks.
Bet more than I've got
I risk more than I possess.
Take all that I want You can have it it's Yours
I surrender everything to you willingly; it's all yours.
How much does it cost
What is the price to recover what was lost?
To find the one You lost
You are everything I desire, if that's your identity.
You are all I want if that's who You are
The suffering between each breath is agonizing, decaying my being.
The pain between each breath within its decrepitness so kills
Nothing constructive happens in this deteriorating body.
What I begin, in this body that is rotting, nothing gets built
Despite the decay, the foundation on this Rock stands firm.
But on this Rock this house will stand still
My intentions do not always align with my actions.
But what I ought is not what I will
I am mortal, and my heart is unyielding.
Well I'm just flesh and bone
Break down the barriers of my religious mindset.
And my heart's as hard as stone
I speak as if I am isolated, but you have always been present.
Break down the walls of my religion
Everything I possess is ultimately under your control.
I talk like I'm alone
I communicate as if I am alone, detached.
But you've been there all along
Yet, your presence has been constant throughout.
Everything I hold is in Your hand
All that I hold dear is within your control.
Everything I hold is Your hand
Everything I possess is, in fact, in your hand.
And He takes her hand
A narrative shift, where he takes her hand, expressing plans and love.
Says that, "I've got great plans for us
He communicates a promising future for both.
My thoughts for you as the sand
His thoughts and intentions for her are vast and numerous.
More than you could ever count"
His care and plans for her exceed quantification.
You are all Mine
A declaration that the person is entirely claimed by a higher power.
I bought you with a price
The claim was not without cost; a sacrifice was made.
Look Me in the eyes I am not ashamed
A direct challenge to look into the eyes without shame.
Your sin is cast aside
Despite past wrongs, sins are forgiven and set aside.
I've heard your every cry
An acknowledgment that every plea and cry has been heard.
I'm calling you My child so don't be afraid
A reassurance of belonging, being called a child with no need for fear.
I've made a way
A way has been provided, a path for redemption or connection.
