Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Standing here right now you see my hearts condition
I’m surrounded by the smoke of life’s emissions
I try to look to you, but I can’t see clearly anymore
My soul cries out to you

Chorus
My soul cries out to you
In the morning when my days begun
My soul cries out to you
In the evening when my day is done
When I fall, it’s you I call
My spirit cries from the inside
My soul cries out to you

Verse 2
I’m surrounded by the thoughts of my convictions
It’s hard to live a good life when consumed by addictions
I try to look to you
But I can’t see clearly anymore
My soul cries out to you
My soul cries out to you

Chorus
My soul cries out to you
In the morning when my days begun
My soul cries out to you
In the evening when my day is done
When I fall, it’s you I call
My spirit cries from the inside
My soul cries out to you

Instrumental Break

Chorus
When I fall, it’s you I call
My spirit cries from the inside
My soul cries out to you
My soul cries out to you

Standing here right now you see my hearts condition

My Soul Cries Out

A Song about Temptation

1 Corinthians 10:13

Endure

An acoustic cover of Tom Petty's song "I Won't Back Down"

King David is one of my favorite people written about in the Old Testament.  He stood firm and confident in the many faces of evil that he encountered throughout his life.  He conquered Goliath as a boy when nobody else would step up to the plate, he survived attacks from a crazy King and remained honorable when others would have simply quit, and he defeated armies much stronger than his own.  His secret weapon?  His unwavering faith and trust in God.

A Psalm of David
Psalms 27: 1-3
1The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
2When evil people come to devour me,
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident.

Before this pandemic started, so many of us were already hurting and being pushed to our emotional limits.  Now that the coronavirus is here and has sparked so much uncertainty and fear, it has only amplified our struggles.  I’ve questioned my own ability to deal with the pressures I’ve faced personally over the past few years, and then all of this happened.  

But you and I have to put our faith in God like David did.  God will carry us.  He will protect us.  By His mighty strength and power, we will survive our struggles and come out stronger on the other side.  Those are all promises from God to His children.

So don’t back down.  Don’t give up.  Don’t lean on your own understanding.  Stand firm and stand confident, not in yourself, but in the protection and power of our mighty God.
