Alone

You claim you are all alone,
But did you have to leave Heaven's throne?
Did you have to hear crowd's angry cries?
Did you have to be slandered by many lies?


Those that stood with you have now gone away,
And in your time of need did not stay.
They fell asleep while You prayed to Your Father,
And when You asked them to pray, they did not bother.


Judas did help those that conspired against You,
And He was saddened for what he put You through.
When asked of Peter around the fire,
He denied You thrice, and was a liar.


When You were on the cross, sin's burden, You did bear,
When God did turn away, You were alone there.
So don't tell me you are all alone,
And by your sacrifice, sin was gone.


Jesus did take on the sins of the world,
And on the cross, sin's judgement was unfurled.
When it was done,

Our salvation was won.

If you feel like you are all alone,
And you think that all hope is gone,
Come to the throne of grace,
And in Jesus' hands, your life place.

It's Broke and Jesus Can Fix It

We in our human frailty are broken, and we cannot be repaired with all the super glue and duct tape in this world. The only One that can fix our broken lives is Jesus. Jesus gave us a pretty vivid picture of what we are; we are like cracked pots. There are many songwriters that have written about brokenness of spirit, and they have all had experiences like that. It is when we recognize that we are broken that we truly see our need for Jesus. Jesus spoke of not overloading us with burdens, but being there to help us carry them. He carried the greatest burden of our sins to the cross and bled and died to take away our sins.

Notice that I am not talking about the government as a means to fix the problems that people have. It is a deep seated spiritual problem. Some people are so deep in despair that they cannot see any signs relief. I am here to tell you that we need Christ, because He is the hope of the world.

Hear our cry, Lord, we pray
Our faces down, our hands are raised
You called us out, we turned away
We've turned away

With shipwrecked faith the idols rise
We do what is right in our own eyes
Our children now will pay the price
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out

All our hearts, all our strength
With all our minds, we're at Your feet
May Your kingdom come in our hearts and lives
Let Your church arise, let Your church arise

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out
We're reaching out

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, we're reaching out

If we've ever needed You
Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now
We are desperate for Your hand
We're reaching out, reaching out

We need You now
Revive us now
We need You now
(If We Ever Needed You- Casting Crowns)

Jesus is reaching out like He did when Peter was being overtaken by the waves. He is reaching out to the poor and needy, to the ones that are at the end of themselves, to those with broken families, to those with broken hearts, and to those in far away places.

Let those that are falling apart come to the One that can piece our lives back together.
