I Hope

Does He really hear my cries?
Does He really love me even when I sin?
Am I really beautiful in His eyes?
Does He really feel my pain?

All these thoughts always go through my mind,
Day and night.
One voice says He does.
That He loves me with all His heart.
Another says it isn�t true.
That He doesn�t really love you.

How can He?
When I�m always making mistakes.
Falling into temptation,
And thoughts that never go away.

I try to be good,
To do things right.
I read His book,
And try to praise Him day and night.

But then I lie,
I end up falling into temptation.
Doing what�s wrong in His eyes
And feeling like a huge disappointment.
I want to be good.
To be worthy of His love.
For Him to accept me,
Is all I�ve ever wanted.

But I fall short
I do things that I shouldn�t do.
I fear and let it take control
Of everything, I say and do.

I break my promises,
I lie and cheat
Thinking of only myself,
While knowing deep inside,
This isn�t really me.

I try to look into my heart,
Trying to find out who I really am,
If I really am worthy of God�s great love
And everything He has planned.

I look at the scars on my skin,
Created by knives and pain I couldn�t handle
From memories of the past and feelings I had held within
Giving me emo and troubled as a label.

But God, you know who I really am
Along with everything that�s within my heart.
Whether I�m worthy of you,
And all your great love.

But Lord, to be honest
I feel like I�m not worth anything.
Because of all I�ve done,
And probably all I�m about to do
Why would I deserve
Anything from you?

I�m nothing,
But a sinner
And when I try to be more
Fear ends up being the winner.

I know you have great plans for me
But what if I never get to where you want me to be?
What if I continue to fail and fail
And end up giving up along the way?

I want to be who you want to be.
I want to do what you put me here to do.
I want to be worthy of your love,
I want to be worthy of you.

God, you�ve told me who I am,
That I have nothing to fear.
That I�m yours
Even though I�m a sinner

God, I want to keep being yours
Forever and ever,
Please don�t let me go
I don�t ever want to stop being yours.

God take me,
And mold me into what you want me to be.
And If I mess up,
And sin along the way,
Fall into temptation,
Please don�t give up on me.

You�re worthy of all praise
You�re worthy of all I do
You�re worthy of all I am,
I just hope, I�m worthy of you.
