come back to Me

It's a New Year so Let's Start ANEW.

I felt like maybe this is what people who backslide would feel (Oh no, maybe just me?)...They might feel so distant from God and that they cannot come back even though they know they God can save and accept them back but perhaps they feel it's too late and maybe the fact is they can't bring themselves to forgive themselves? Or maybe they are just Feeling that too tough to drop that sin.."well I'm stuck here and beyond saving, so let me just die here all alone, I know you still LOVE me and you still CARE for me. But I've GIVEN UP on myself"

Did you know, when you think that, this is what you are basically saying?

"King Of Anything" (SARA BAREILLES)

Keep drinkin' coffee

Stare me down across the table

While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet

And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man

We're all entitled to 'em

But I never asked

So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died And made you king of anything

You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

You swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

Ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction oh

But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps

With my name on them in all caps

You got the talkin' down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died And made you king of anything

All my life I've tried To make everybody happy while I Just hurt And hide

Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn To decide

Here's what I felt that God has said to me today on this New Year, "COME BACK, I don't want you for the weekend or for a night..."

"I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" (SHANIA TWAIN) 

Let's go!

Don't wantcha for the weekend, don't wantcha for a night
I'm only interested if I can have you for life, yeah
Uh, I know I sound serious and baby I am

You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land

Oh, yeah

So, don't try to run honey, love can be fun

There's no need to be alone when you find that someone

(I'm gonna getcha)

I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight

(I'm gonna getcha)

I'm gonna getcha if it takes all night

(Yeah, you can betcha)

You can betcha by the time I say "go," you'll never say "no"

(I'm gonna getcha)

I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact

(I'm gonna getcha)

I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha worry 'bout that

(Yeah, you can betcha)

You can bet your bottom dollar, in time you're gonna be mine

Just like I should - I'll getcha good

Yeah, uh, uh

I've already planned it - here's how it's gonna be
I'm gonna love you and - you're gonna fall in love with me

Yeah, yeah

Ya, so in this is a song reminding us GOD doesn’t give up on us and HIS LOVE IS STUBBORN.

"Stubborn Love" (Kathy Trocolli)

Caught again, Your faithless friend

Don't You ever tired of hearing

What a fool I've been

Guess I should pray what can I say

Oh, it hurts to know the hundred times I've caused You pain

The "forgive me" sounds so empty

When I never change

Yet You stay and say You love me

Still forgiving me time and time again

(Chorus)

It's Your stubborn love

That never let go of me

I don't understand how You can stay

Perfect love, embracing the worst in me

How I long for You, stubborn love

Funny me, just couldn't see,

Even long before I knew You, You were loving me

Sometimes I cry, You must cry too,

When You see the broken promises

I made to You, I keep saying that I'll trust you,

Though I seldom do,

Yet You stay and say You love me

Still knowing someday I'll be like You

It's Your stubborn love

That never let go of me

I don't understand how You can stay

Perfect love, embracing the worst in me

And You'll never let me go

I believe I finally know,

I can't live without Your stubborn love.

Find Us Faithful (STEVE GREEN)

We're pilgrims on the journey

Of the narrow road

And those who've gone before us line the way

Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary

Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

Let us run the race not only for the prize

But as those who've gone before us

Let us leave to those behind us

The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Chorus:

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave

Lead them to believe

And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone

And our children sift through all we've left behind

May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover

Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

Something like the DAD waiting for the prodigal child.

Right here waiting for you (Richard Marx)

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
