Shipwreck


Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

So this makes 50 posts, huh? We've still got a long way to go but I wanted to share one of those songs that always gets me. Sometimes we go through life and make mistakes trying to be something we aren't supposed to be and it leads us to crash. Thankfully when we do crash, it's always upon His shore.

Enjoy!







I built a fortress
With a hundred thousand faces
I'll keep it safe
With a hundred thousand more
But these masks are wearing thin
As You draw me in

I spent my time
On the empty and the fleeting
I spent my life
On much less than I'd dreamed
But I'm reaching out to you
To make me new

'Cause I am just a beggar here at Your door
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore
I come empty handed
Ready to see
Your life in me changing who I've been
To who I need to be

You tell me my story
As You sift between the pages
I feel redemption
In the space between each turn

Could You take me in Your arms
And tell it just once more
Could You take me in Your arms
And tell it just once more
