I Beg

Here I am
One more day of not
Loving Him the way He asks
In fact my heart is singing praises to the things
that make me feel alright

So I’m sinking fast like a stone heart should
And on the way down
I’ve done what I could
To try and try to turn this stone to flesh

So here I am
Got my deeds for the day
All my cute little words about
How I am saved
Am I saved?

Could I love you with my mouth like a church kid should
At the end of the day
My words get burned as wood
Oh, but I was good.

These songs are noise
In your ears
A clanging drum
You want my love

I’m haunted by my God
Who has the right to ask me
What by the nature of my rebellion
I cannot give.

So I beg for you to move
I beg for you to move
I beg for you to break through

----Shane and Shane, Beg Lyrics


A good picture of where I've been and what my prayer is now. Yes.

I would just change one word in the song if I could (though I'm sure they chose the one they did for a purpose).

"I'm pursued by my God who has the right to ask me what by the nature of my rebellion I cannot give."

He is a pursuing God. He will ask. He will move. He will break through. He has already.
