i haven't posted in a while. for this i apologize. life is crazy. surprise, surprise. anyway, i'm going to post a couple of somethings that i found. cheers. -enna

It Was Me
Hanging on Your Cross I see You
And I’m mortified
Who would do such a thing to You?
And then I realize it was me...

Me who betrayed You to the priests
Me who condemned You without mercy
Me who scourged Your Back so holy
I can’t ask who crucified You
Because it was me

I see the blood on Your Head
Dripping from Your crown of thorns
I wonder how they could bear to do this to You
And then I realize it was me

Me who laughed and spit and mocked You
Me who beat the crown on Your Head
Me who ridiculed You before the world
I can’t ask who crucified You
Because it was me

I beg forgiveness!
I beg Your mercy!
I beg for what I could not give
When it was...

Me who had You carry
The cross You were to die on
Me who nailed You to that cross
Me who cast lots for your clothes even as You died...
Now I ask You Lord...
Why, when it was me?

And then in the silence of my heart
You come and answer me
“Because I love you
“That’s why I came to die
“And I came to die for you...

“You who scourged Me when I was down
“You who hung me on My Cross
“You who killed me with your sins
“I came to die for you
“Because I love you”

Thank You, Lord, for coming
And setting me free
On the bittersweet Cross that saved me
Even though it was me


Someday

Someday I want
To make a difference in someone’s life
Someday I want
To have someone love me for me
Someday I want
To find God’s plan for me
Someday I want
Him to set me free

Why must I wait for someday?
Who is holding me back?
Should I have to wait for someday?
Or can I fulfill all that He wants for me today?

Someday I’d like
To show people the way to Christ
Someday I’d love
To learn what dreams are made of
Someday I want
To be held in someone’s arms
And know for sure
That I am loved

Why must I wait for someday?
Who is holding me back?
Should I have to wait for someday?
Or can I fulfill all that He wants for me today?

Can my needs be met?
Can all my dreams be heard?
Or do my wishes seem absurd?
Will I ever know
What it means
To fulfill a dream?

Why must I wait for someday?
Who is holding me back?
Should I have to wait for someday?
Or can I fulfill all that He wants for me today?
