On My Own
BarlowGirl

...cause i promised myself i wouldn't fall
but here i've fallen
i guess i'm not as strong as i thought
all i can do ... is cry to You

God, you have to save me
you're my last and only hope
all my right answers fail me
i can't seem to make it on my own

i always thought that i would be strong enough
what made all of them fall
couldn't take me down
yeah, did i think that i was above it all?
i have learned that pride comes before the fall

i can't promise myself that i wont fall
cause here i've fallen
i know i'm not as strong as i thought
all i can do ... is cry to You

When our answers, actions, very best intentions come up short, I find comfort that I have a Father to cry to- the creator of Heaven and Earth, who is sovereign over all His creation, who knows the exact number of hairs on my head, who knows the number of steps in my life. Nothing I can do can ever be good enough to earn His love, yet He loves me and takes care of me anyway. In the good times and bad, we are to praise and worship our God. In the midnight hour, when no one else is there... it's just me and God and I'm faced with the deepest sorrow I have ever felt, turn the soundtrack on and and realize that I'm in a bigger story that is all about God. I praise Him because I can play a small part in that story. I love to cry out the line in this song that says, "God you have to save me. You're my last and only hope. All my right answers fail me. I can't seem to make it on my own."

Many are the plans of a human heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
