Take Me to the King

I love the lyrics to this Gospel hit from 2013.  It certainly represents the way I feel sometimes.  I love gospel music and the people this form of worship springs from.  I often find great peace at church when the music and words of a gospel song pierce my heart.  So I'm sharing it with you as I have throughout this blog experiment -- to reveal to you more about me and to hopefully encourage you today.

Take me to the King
I don't have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It's my offering
Take me to the King

Truth is I'm tired
Options are few
I'm trying to pray
But where are you?
I'm all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can't fake
What's left to do?

Truth is I'm weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch will change my life

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Please take me to the King

Truth is it's time
To stop playing these games
We need a word
For the people's pain

So Lord speak right now
Let it pour like rain
Oh, yeah, we're desperate
We're chasing after you

No rules, no religion
I've made my decision
To run to You,
The healer that I need


Take me to the...

Lord we're in the way
We keep making mistakes
The glory's not for us
It's all for You
