Story Behind the Song
This song was written in a spirtually trying period of my life. I was struggling with sin that I couldn't get a hold of. God has since delivered me, but this song remains a constant reminder of my human sinfullness and ability to fall into temptation at any time. I still love listening to and playing this song when I feel particularly challenged in any area of my life. I know that no day with God is a walk in the park, but that I can always rely on his love and strength to carry me through any sin that the serpeant throws my way.
Lyrics
Never do I keep my word,
Breaking it every day,
I give you promises each time I pray,
And every day they fade away,
One day I repent,
Then the next I confess,
That I've fallen again, oh Lord,
back into sin,
Lord, I need Your love,
Lord, I need Your love,
Lord, I need Your salvation,
Your saving grace,
Give me the discipline I need,
and let Your love lead me,
I break your heart each instance,
And return each time, asking forgiveness,
I'm sick of remorse,
I'm tired of the guilt,
To You I cry out,
To You I ask how,
Rip this burden from my life,
And reveal the path, the walkway of light
