Everyday
(Kessler/Hesse)

David expressed in one of his psalms (51:17) that “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart - these, O God, You will not despise.” This was written during a time of a broken spirit, grieving that I seemed to be so powerless over sin that was so easily entangling me. It was when I was brought to this place that the Holy Spirit taught me that I couldn’t do it on my own. I did then, and still do, want to live a life that is pleasing to God. Realizing that trying to accomplish this on my own power and strength is impossible was an important lesson to learn in my growth as a Christian.

Romans: chapters 6-8, Psalm 51, 1 John 1:8-9, James 4:8-10, Ezekiel 11:19-20

Lord, I’ve come back to You, to tell You
To tell You that I’ve failed You again
When I tried to stand on my own that’s when I fell again
When I tried to stand on my own, that’s when I fell

Lord, I suppose you know these feelings
These old feelings that I harbor inside
They only tear down the love that I confide
Yes they only tear down the love that I confide

Open my eyes ‘cause I want to see You
Open my heart ‘cause I want to know You
I’m so tired of playing these same old games
Open my ears ‘cause I want to hear You
To hear what Your Spirit would say
And to be my guiding light everyday
Be my guiding light everyday

Lord, please help me understand
Your love for this weak and fragile man
For in my weakness Your love will make me strong
Yes by my weakness Your love proves to be strong

(repeat chorus twice)
