All that is good in me – v3

All that is good in me
is from You, oh God;
All that I do righteously
comes from You, my Lord.

All that I do on my own
is evil in Thy sight;
All that I do righteously
comes from the Hand of God.

without You I have nothing – v2

My life, my treasure
my family, my friends
any status I have achieved
in the eyes of men;
Without You I have nothing
I do no true good;
Only with You, my Maker
do I do any good at all.

out of love – v4

discipline in balance
out of love, patient,
knowing because
we have been there
learning the hard way
as we all seem to do

showing grace quickly
forgiveness as well
not wavering from the path
the way of love
life in the telling
this story we know so well.

Your mercy upon me
forgiving my sin
turning toward my Savior
in Him do I live.

no hope and no future

no hope and no future
in this life or the next
if I do not have You
as the center of my life
no hope and no future
no glimpse of paradise
needing You, my Savior
as I walk in life.

evil, base elements, clay of my body
only selfishness remains
without You, Lord
I want to be righteous
I long to walk with You
but on my own evil

dipped in the fire – v2

as tallows of wax
dipped in the Spirit
the liquid burning
the sin off
cleaned by the blood
dipped in the fire
renewing my flesh
forgiven, starting over
a process, refining
burning off myself
repeating itself
all of my life.
