i need to be new

July 23, 2024

You would think I was hopeless
A lost cause
But He said nope
All Him not me
And if I'm over here crying wondering why He's doing this to us
Because I don't see the picture right now
What do I hope in
That our reward's far greater than this temporary affliction?
Rescue us Lord, like they wrote on the streets of Prague 
Give us a testimony of Your greatness that's worth sharing
Help me not hate this testimony You gave
But hope in You
Let us be Yours alone

Because it still hits me like I guess it always did
Do I have to sleep tonight?
Because I'll be gone in the morning
And I might not see you again
And I've lost so much
How do I have more to lose
God don't lose me too
But is that fear talking again
Do you see how we all change faces and we're all broken
But oh I'll miss this
And oh God knows, He meant this
But oh you're special, I'll miss this
But Lord, yeah I cry because I don't understand
You could erase the pain and make it easy but You don't
My playlist screams NF, I'm not hopeless under these Thai streetlights
I hate them but let me love Your name
I hate this but let me hope in You

"Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases."

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!"
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭103‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭ESV‬‬
