Yours Again

I run, back to the things

That drain me of life, then

I break down; break Your heart.

Why am I such a fool?

Again, I stumble and fall

Back into darkness.

I cannot see past my sin.

Why did I let Your hand go?

I keep slipping away

When we become closer.

For a taste of nothingness,

I give up everything.

I've done it too many times:

Made You of less importance.

How could I push aside

The One who gave all for me?

I'm tired of my own way;

Done with selfishness.

This life, this world, myself

Are all for Your glory, God.

I don't want to run anywhere

But into Your arms.

I don't want to fall anywhere

But at Your feet.

If You'll take me again,

I'm Yours; if not, I perish.

But I know that You will

Because of Your faithful love.
