New Song

Well, I've traveled halfway around the world and lived on another continent for 8 months. I've experienced a different side of life. And I've discovered that life is essentially the same, no matter where you are in all the world. In poverty or wealth, people still face the same life decisions and the same heartbreak. No one escapes the enigma of relationships (romantic and platonic). No one is exempt from doubt regarding God. No one can conquer sin on their own. No one has everything, in any sense of the word, unless they have God, because He is everything we need.

I wrote this song today. It was inspired by Downhere's song "What It's Like."



Fix Me Again

I didn’t plan on getting hurt today

I didn’t plan to spill my tears on You

I didn’t want my heart to break into

A million little tiny pieces

And so I come running back to You

Fix me again

Heal me again

Forgive again

Where I have failed

Restore again

For I am broken

Of course I’m not the first to cry to You

Of course we all make mistakes, they’ll say

Of course we all fall from Your perfect way

We run off with our own ideas

And so I come crawling back today

Fix me again

Heal me again

Forgive again

Where I have failed

Restore again

For I am broken

I lay prostrate on the cold floor

I bang my fists, I cry out for You

You’re knocking at my heart’s door

Is opening up all I must do?

Fix me again

Heal me again

Forgive again

Where I have failed

Restore again

For I am broken
