Helpless
Temptation pulls at me from every side
I want to resist, yet I cannot
For the chains that I created are holding me back
Keeping me locked in this desolate place.
I long to be with You, Jesus
I want to be where You are
But because of my stubborn heart
I’m lost and disillusioned on this lonely road.
How can I say that I love You
When I never let it show?
My life should reflect Your light
Instead I hide it deep within.
I’m lying here, cold and alone
Helpless against the crashing waves
Unable to free myself from this sin
That has me trapped and unable to move.
I long to be with You, Jesus
I want to be where You are
But my strength is failing
I cannot fight this fight alone.
I know You are there
I long to reach out, to kneel at Your feet
To be with You is my heart’s lone desire
To show You that I do love You.
Help me, Lord Jesus
Lift me up, give me strength
Break these chains that bind my heart
Rendering me helpless and broken.
You are all I need, O Lord
You’re everything to me
I long to praise Your name
To shout from the highest mountaintop
That Your love is here
You gave Your life unselfishly
To save my soul, to set me free
That I would be helpless no longer.
