I’ve been tempted.   And I have failed. Many times. I have beaten myself up for giving into temptation more than I can count. I have been so ashamed of myself that I have even tried to hide it from God.   Pretended it didn’t happen.   I have made pacts with God and have sworn on my life…. All in the name of Jesus. Yeah, I’ve been bad. And even made myself believe God shook my hand on all the deals I have made….. Am I the only one? Silly me.   I have even asked God why He has allowed me to stumble and fall, why He has allowed for it to knock on my door. Until I discovered that I can only be dragged away, give into it, if the desire has been in my heart all along.   No wonder the bible says ‘ of all things guard your heart the most…’   ... but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after the desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to...

Lord You know what I have done And u know what I’m yet to do Still you do, You love me like You do as if there is no one else to love Lord u know just who I am and u know exactly where I am from Still you do, You love me like You do So I close my eyes and pray coz’ You hear the words that I say and I want to thank You Jesus 4 not letting go I am a sinner reaching for the light Lord You know how proud I have been and You know how I’ve tried to earn this thing and still You do, You love me like You do as if there is no one else to love So I close my eyes and pray coz’ You hear the words that I say I’ve been bend down low by the weight of the law I’ve been crippled by a man’s demand Lord But now I am liberated I am set free by Your grace finally I can breathe again by the freedom You’ve given me So I close my eyes and pray coz’ You hear the words that I say And I want to thank You Jesus 4 not letting go ...

This is the dream, a dream for the world to see You A dream for the world to know You Like a rolling stone, like a runaway train No turning back, no more yesterdays Shake the ground so our walls can keep coming down God raise me up, up from the grave With my heart on the cross, My heart is free, no chains on me It is time for freedom, abandoned by cold religion,  With my heart on fire I hear a sound it’s the sound of revival coming The sound of Your people rising No more chains on me!  

This is your testimony and it sure is mine. And those of Barabbas. The people chose Barabbas. They voted for him. He was one of theirs. He was nothing but a thug, a crook, a murderer. He was a bad man. And yet he was set free . By Jesus. Nothing has really changed. Nothing . Barabbas really is me… and you. He is us.   For while we were still sinners Christ died for us . God sent His Son for Barabbas even the one He knew would walk away from Jesus and His free gift and never come back. God loves us the same way He loves him --- and then we, believers still thinks ‘I got saved by grace but now that I am in this deep dark place of bondage, I better work hard to get myself out’ Why?? That is the opposite of the Gospel. Are you bound? Are you held under the power of this temptation and this sin? Do you feel like it’s controlling you? What are you going to do? Shake yourself free? You can’t, you’re no match for the powers of hell and the urges of sin, you will never...

In the shelter of Your eyes I have finally learned the song It took so long to realise I just can’t make in on my own Words are only what they say But this feeling isn’t wrong I’m so glad I found my way It’s good to be where I belong And I’m gonna stay right here Coz I’m in the rhythm of Your mind Tune out the world and rest my head Beneath the shelter of Your eyes.

I’ve spent my life looking for You Finding my way wasn’t easy to do I know You were there all the while And it’s been worth every mile So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurting of this world away Hold me so close that I feel Your heartbeat And don’t ever wonder away Mornings and evenings all were the same And there was no music till I heard Your Name But I knew when I saw You smile Now I can rest for a while So lay down beside me Love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin of this world away Hold me so close that I feel Your heartbeat And don’t ever wander away

When I need hope and inspiration You're always strong when I'm tired and weak I could search this whole world over You'd still be everything that I need. You brought love like I've never known You gave life to all my children And to me, a reason to go on. You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all, You're my best Friend
