Today this song stuck out to me... I've been in a lull.. I guess you could call it.. I have been lost.. But today I picked up my Bible and I opened and I decided that I needed to start reading it again instead of just skimming.. or finding the "right" verse... So God led me to read through Isaiah... Some of the things that have stuck out to me today from Isaiah were these exerpts out of certain verses.

"Wash yourselves and be clean! Let me no longer see your evil deeds. Give up your wicked ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the orphan. Fight for the rights of widows." - Isaiah: 1:16-17

"Stop putting your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. How can they be of help to anyone?"
-Isaiah 2:22

"If you want me to protect you, learn to believe what I say" -Isaiah 7:9

"Do not think like everyone else does. Do not be afraid that some plan concieved behind closed doors will be the end of you." -Isaiah 8:11-12

Deliver me...

There is hope
in God
There is hope in
His name
There is hope in
His arms
There is hope
in God

So Deliver me
Deliver me
from the sin
that has captured me
Deliver my soul
because I am to weak
O Lord, Deliver me

There is peace in
God
There is peace in
His name
There is peace in
His eyes
There is peace in
God

So Capture me
with Your love
Surround me with
Your peace
Bless me with
Your Grace
O Lord, Deliver me

I have strayed,
I have wandered
far from You
I have lied,
I have cheated
I have failed You
But here I am
on my face
Pleading for forgiveness
Here I am so ashamed
of my failure....

Please Deliver me
Deliver me
From the sin
that has captured me
Deliver my soul
because I am to weak
O Lord, Deliver me.

Not that I deserve this forgiveness and mercy. Not because I have earned this love. But because my God is faithful and loves me.. even when I can't love me. He bestows His neverending love and mercy on me... even when I fail. He forgives me when I repent.. He knows my heart... He knows my faults and He loves me despite them. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this.. because I am guilty of sin... I do stupid things.. I say stupid things.. but God is my rock.. He guides me to a better path He shows me where I have stumbled and helps me rebuild relationships. I am so blessed to have such a loving Father.
