Another Attempt at Artistic Expression

I'm taking a music class right now, and one of our assignments was to write a song about what God is teaching us personally.  It was really cool to sit down and write out all of the things He has shown me recently.  They just lent themselves to a song so easily! Here are the lyrics to my song.  I'd sing it for you, but that wouldn't really work on a blog.  Make up your own tune.

If I were You, I would have walked away long ago

When I couldn't find the will to live

Or just believe the truth You give

Time and time and time and time again.

I would have walked away.

If I were You, I would have given up long ago

Like when I told You that I didn't care

And I pretended that You weren't there

Time and time and time and time again.

I would have given up.

But You are God and I am not.

And not a thing on earth could keep You from my side.

You know my past and You love me still.

So You hold me in Your arms and never let me go

You are God.

If I were You, I would have laughed at me long ago

When I told You that my heart was Yours

In spite of all the lies I'd told before

Time and time and time and time again.

I would have laughed at me.

If I were You, I would have closed the book long ago

Cause how could anything that's good enough

Come from anyone who falls so much

Time and time and time and time again?

I would have closed the book.

But You are God and I am not.

And not a thing on earth could keep You from my side.

You know my past and You love me still.

So You hold me in Your arms and never let me go

You are God

And I am not.

And not a thing on earth could keep You from my side.

You know my past and You love me still.

So You hold me in Your arms and never let me go

No matter what, I'll rest because I always know

Lord You promised me that You would never let me go.

You are God.
