Story Behind the Song
This was written during a time of self-actuallization. I had just made the move from my home in Indiana to Greenville, South Carolina. Lots of reasons for the move, but more and more I just tell people "God told me to." I was feeling quite isolated and likened the feeling to the guilt one feels after having let God down.
Lyrics
Lord I come to you, there's nothing left that I can do, to make this right, make everything all right.
O' I need your grace, I'm falling on my face, my soul on a lonely shore, O' Lord, rescue me once more.
Break me now of all my pride, free me from my sin, carry me in the currents of your love, Till I am home again.
Here I am once more, and again I have fallen short, from the depths of my pain, I praise, Jesus break me of my old ways, break me
My sin has swept me away, farther than I could ever swim, for you nothing is out of the way, no matter where I've been.
You have made me strong, though the journey may seem so long, but in my weakness still, you take my heart and I am filled.
