The Heart's Cry: Psalm 118

Psalm 118

Two posts ago I shared song lyrics from MercyMe. Last post I shared a poem I wrote on the spot. This time I share song lyrics written 12 years ago. Hypocrites are those who shame others for what they themselves do, I try not to be one if at all possible. I am a bundle of mistakes and misdeeds and bad choices and occasional good ones, I am stardust and bile. I am a like Paul, the chief of sinners. If you can learn from what I say, great, but don't follow me, don't do that, follow Jesus, unlike myself, he won't let you down.

Trust

I see you watching me so closely
looking for the least bit of loss
I understand just what you're looking for
but my friend, you won't find it in me
because I am not who you want me to be

Chorus:
it is better to put trust in the Lord
than to put your confidence in me
it is better to put trust in the Lord
than to put your hope on me

I see you watching every move I make
looking for how to live your life
I understand what you're hoping to find
but my love, you won't find it in me
because I can't be who you want me to be

Chorus:

Bridge:
cause I'm a failure
you just miss my pain
and I'm a loser
stuck right in my shame
and I'm a sinner
living how I want
so do yourself a favor
don't put your trust in me

Chorus:
