My heart is so proud
My mind is so unfocused
I see the things You do through me
As great things I have done

An now You gently break me
And lovingly You take me
And hold me as my Father
And mold me as my Maker

I ask You: " How many times would you pick me up"?
When I keep on letting You down
And each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound

And You answer my child, "I love you"
And as long as you're seeking My face
You'll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace

At times I may grow weak
And feel a bit discouraged
Knowing that someone somewhere
Could do a better job

For who am I to serve You
I know I don't deserve You
And that's the part that burns in my heart
And keeps me hanging on.

You're so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning
For what Your grace really means
The price that I could never pay
Was paid at calvary

So Instead of trying to repay You
I'm learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to You
For all that You've given to me

Hands reaching out with no one to hold
You've been abandoned with no place to go
Wounded and wanting, such desperate times
Cold bitter tears are filling your eyes
Get a glimpse of Jesus for He is right there with you
He knows just what you need

'Cause when life gets broken, when you're in despair
He'll carry your burden when it's too much to bear
It's down in the valley where He'll give you strength
And there is nothing you have lost that He can't replace
He'll help you start all over again

When life gets broken
You hoped God would heal it, but the storm raged and raged
Now it's hard to imagine how you'll make it through the day
Weeks turn to years, time's passing you by
But you're still holding on to the how's and the why's
So get a glimpse of Jesus for He is right there with you
He knows just what you need

'Cause when life gets broken, when you're in despair
He'll carry your burden when it's too much to bear
It's down in the valley where He'll give you strength
And there is nothing you have lost that He can't replace
He'll help you start all over again

When life gets broken
Healing waters heal our troubled souls
Jesus, sweet Jesus will cleanse and make us whole
When life gets broken, when you're in despair
He'll carry your burden when it's too much to bear
It's down in the valley where He'll give you strength
And there is nothing you have lost that He can't replace
He'll help you start all over again

When life gets broken again

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy

What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise?

Nice!!! I am hoping to start a music ministry next year in the Philippines. Filipinos love to sing karaoke, and having praise music and words on a large screen for people to follow and sing together seems like a great idea to me. Then just let the Holy Spirit take over from there. Just Prayer and Praise and no preaching.
