"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

In You

I wrote this song for a particular person who went off course and heading for destruction. I wrote this to tell him that no matter how screwed up he was, I will still accept him as who he is, a dear brother to me.

This song is a song from a very human perspective. When we come before God, we want God to remember us the way we were before we fall away just as we want a lover to love us the way they loved us before. We wondered if God would accept us again. There is always a fear of rejection and our emotions would sometimes play the dirtiest mind-trick on us. The truth is this, God knows those who are His. And those who are His knows His voice and returns. He alone changes our status from sinner to saint and when we fall and return back to the Master, He restores us (parable of the prodigal son).

Praise God! My brother is making a comeback! I've yet to sing him this song.

Dun change your opinion of me when I am down on my knees
I already know I was wrong so I come to bow down
But things that has entangled me
Tried to shift me from someone I could be
I heard You call my name
Out of nothing you gave me a chance to...
Believe in You

Dun change your opinion of me when I am down on my knees
I already know I was wrong so I come to bow down
And now I know I had to change
I had to rearrange my whole life messed up
I thought that no one cares
Out of nothing you gave me a chance to...
Believe in You

(Tonight I lay my head on bed of nails
My mind is spinning but my life's a sail
I wonder what went wrong
Admit it's all my fault
The dream has gone and all is laid to waste
Forget the plans I had and run from them
Forsake the call I know she called again
But now the feelings numb
I think I'm going dumb
I never thought that all good things would end)

In You I find my peace
In You I find my place to be
It doesn't matter what I've been
You're always there to share my pain
I found love in You
I found it hard to not believe
What you said in Your words
I believe that it's strange but it's true
