06. Forgive Me

Group 1 Crew
by Group 1 Crew

Lyrics:
Father, I’m going through some heavy things
It seems like this world ain’t getting any better
The more we try to get closer to You
The farther we run from Your throne

I’ve spent so many nights wonderin’ when will it end
When will the day come when happiness begins
I’m running the race but it seems too hard to win
I’m sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning

I’m calling for help and watching it melt away
My heart’s been put on display and put away
In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok
And anger was the price that was paid
While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home

The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne
I can’t take it any longer
I can taste my spirit hunger
God please help me get home

Chorus:
Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I’m not scared cause You’re holding my breath
I only fear that I don’t have enough time left
To tell the world that there’s no time left, Lord please
Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I’m not scared cause You’re holding my breath
I only fear that I don’t have enough time left
To tell the world that there’s no time left

I’ve come to terms that I’m burning both sides of the rope
And I’m hoping that self-control would kick in before I’m choking off
The sin that be destroying every fiber I got
I need the Lord in every way I’ll never make it I’m not
Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life
I couldn’t do it I would lose it there’s no point to the fight
And I’m writing this song, for the people who don’t belong
I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong
Inside a life that’s filled with anger and disappointment
Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids
It’s annoying and I feel for all of you who wanna give up
You feel stuck I feel the same way Lord help us stay up
You couldn’t pay me to abandon the idea of true hope
That I could make it through this life into a place where there’s no crying
I’m dying to find You with open arms when I go
Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul

Lord I don't know what I'm struggling for
There’s go to be more
Than this life I know
But still I’m here fighting to never give up
I find strength in Your love
And You will see me through

Behind the Song:
"This song was birthed after a deep time of prayer in which we discovered the need for understanding how God viewed us in the light of his forgiveness. So many times as humans we like to place humanistic qualities on God simply because we can’t comprehend how He can love such unlovable creatures…and yet He still does. This song gives every listener the courage to believe that with God, it’s never too late to be forgiven. When you embrace this grace He’s made available to us, there’s nothing you ever need to fear. No valley in your life is permanent…" - Group 1 Crew | | | |

Mai este timp pentru pasi mici?

Cand lucrurile merg rau intr-o organizatie oamenii migreaza spre altele mai prospere, sau catre ceva nou. Odata cu trecerea timpului intr-o organizatie se pot intampla doua lucruri: ori evolueaza si creste ori imbatraneste si devine ineficienta prin neadaptare. Biserica este in aceeasi situatie, aici vorbind despre biserica ortodoxa, penticostala ori de alta culoare. Comunistii ne-au tinut uniti chiar daca nu ne-a placut insa acum cand avem libertate, unii prefera sa paraseasca oragnizatiile vechi si sa intemeieze altele noi. Este de inteles, insa exista si varianta a doua cand poti ramane in interior si sa incerci sa schimbi ceva. Pretul este mare si putini sunt cei ce fac acest sacrificiu. Sa renunti la confortul de a face ceva complet nou sau de a o lua de la "0" este un sacrificiu. Insa intrebarea mea ar fi SE MERITA? Ar putea cineva schimba ceva in Biserica Ortodoxa? Sa o inoiasca fara vrerea ei? Ar putea cineva schimba ceva intr-o alta organizatie bisericeasca ce are deja vro 80-90 de ani de existenta? Mai este timp pentru a face toti pasii aceia mici si necesari pentru schimbare? Astept parerea ta care ai citit...
