Remain

Take each stronghold that I have made
turn it into dust and let it blow away
beyond the horizon far from me

Replace each wondering doubtful thought
with only that which gives you praise
Teach me of your heart and ways

Lord in my weakness
you are showing me
All the ways I've lived for me

Humbly yours
I have fallen short
in my soberness I am restored

Lord, In this solitude
I'm aching to be heard
I'm longing to be seen

Through scripture I hear your quiet whisper
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you
ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you -John 15:7

Lord, Here I am
I will remain
in your word
your sweet embrace

Every lie has been conquered
you have walked in this place
In your truth there is no fear
it’s the only place I can cry these tears

Lord, Here I am
I will remain
in your word
your sweet embrace

My insecurities slip away
In the arms of redeeming grace
Out of the pit onto solid ground
This is the only place I am really found

Lord, Here I am
I will remain
in your word
your sweet embrace
