8. In Your Embrace

In Your Embrace

words and music by Matthew Greyling

Lyrics

Looking at my life and all the things surrounding me
Where’d it all come from?
I am not the man I thought that I’d grow up to be
Who have I become?
I thought I would worship You with all of my heart
Make my Faith so strong
I thought it was easy to be Christian, set apart
Looks like I got it wrong

You showed me I couldn’t do it on my own
You’re the one I need to help me through
Even in my failures, I know I am not alone
I can hear You say “I’m with you”

God I need You every single day
Alone, I’m lost, but in You I see the way
Father, forgive me, I’ve sinned and need Your Grace
Jesus, hold me in Your embrace

I ignored Your Truth, I only took the parts I liked
Lived by my own rules
Everything was fine as long as I sinned out of sight
Played You like a fool
Finally one day the walls came crashing down on me
You opened my eyes
Everything I thought was hidden, everyone could see
I broke down and cried
