Songs

So I thought I would try to write a song...I've realized how bad my music theory skills are and also that writing the song is the easiest...maybe Jeff can do the music for me :)

You want us to give You our burdens
You want to take away the pain.
And yet, I feel my heart begin to harden
And I question if You even remember my name

Renew Your strength in me, Lord
Let me put my hope in You.
Fly me on wings of an eagle
Let me not grow faint

Because I have heard you say
I am He, I am He
Who has made you
Who will carry you
I am He, I am He

I have made you and
I will carry you
I will rescue you and
I will bear your burdens

My heart cries out to You, oh God
For an answer, for a healing hand
When I lose my way, oh God
Remind me to put my trust in Your plan

You have been a refuge for the poor
A refuge for those in distress
You have given shelter from the storm
Remind me again of what You bless

Because you have promised me

I am He, I am He
Who will rescue you
Who will sustain you.
I am He, I am He

I have made you and
I will carry you
I will rescue you and
I will bear your burdens

Just give me your heart
To be willing and obedient
Show me more of what you want
Lord, never will I relent

Because you have shown me:

I am He, I am He
Who will rescue you
Who will sustain you.
I am He, I am He

I have made you and
I will carry you
I will rescue you and
Bear all your burdens

Isaiah 46:4
