Hurt

God sometimes allow us to be broken time and again so that we may come to Him, humbled. It is in our brokeness that His light may shine brightest in us. In our brokeness we seek His solace - and seek deeper intimacy with Him.

May we continue to walk in faith, having our hearts rooted in love, focused on Jesus. May we follow His callings, praise Him for His blessings and trust Him in His promises.

Stay close to Him. He doesn't let us down - even if it hurts. If anything, He will take it away. He can take it all away...

Lyrics for Song: Hurt
Lyrics for Album: American IV: The Man Comes Around

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

Chorus:
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

Chorus:
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Callings

Callings

We have been called. Each one of us have a unique calling. One may wonder forever what exactly that calling is, or one may choose to live by faith, trusting in the Lord every step of the way. For His ways are much greater than ours.
