A song written during an especially difficult time in my walk

He Says…

Wandering shadows of who I used to be
Stand in corners, now they’re calling me
With open arms, they pull me in
Until I start to fall again

I try to fight them in my weakest way
That’s when I try alone
But I know Christ is always near
And it’s his voice I need to hear

Chorus:
Cuz He says, “It’s when you seek, you find”
And He says, “the strength you’ll have is mine”
And He says, “There’s struggles in this life for a while, so hold on through every trial”

2nd
Looking back to when I first received
The life He gave up so unselfishly
I thought I’d always feel that way
So convinced I’d never stray

Then times come, that test my faith
Through troubles deep, and sometimes wide
So when I’m giving in, again
I hear his words, they never, never end

Now when shadows try to take me back
Temptations come and hard times fall
I run to Him until they go away
I lean on His truth and His love that’s here to stay
