Lift Me Up

As I was driving home tonight, CFR (Christian Family Radio 90.7) was turned down really low, and I was praying out loud. I have been kind of sliding in my spiritual walk this week, and I was just asking God to forgive me because I felt like such a failure, and I prayed that He would bring me back to Him. This one song called "Lift Me Up" came on the radio moments after I prayed that. I've heard the song a few times before, but it didn't really speak to me, I just thought that it was catchy. Tonight, though, it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Here are some of the lyrics:

Waiting for the sunrise

Waiting for the day

Waiting for a sign

That I’m where you want me to be

You know my heart is heavy

And the hurt is deep

But when I feel like giving up

You’re reminding me

That we all fall down sometimes

But when I hit the ground

You lift me up when I am weak

Your arms wrap around me

Your love catches me so I’m letting go

You lift me up when I can’t see

Your heart is all that I need

Your love carries me so I’m letting go

Waiting for the sunrise

I know I’m not perfect

I know I make mistakes

I know that I have let you down

But you love me the same

And when I’m surrounded

When I lose my way

When I’m crying out and falling down

You are here

It's really amazing how God can even use the radio to speak to me. The part of the song that especially got to me was "I know that I have let you down, but You love me the same". Sometimes I just think that God gets so frustrated with me because I let Him down SO many times, but I forget that He's God! God still loves me even though I screw up majorly!

Anyways, I'm definitely buying this song on iTunes ASAP, so I can play it repeatedly in my room! :) It's "Lift Me Up" by The Afters!

Love,

Kirstin

(By the way, sorry that the format is all messed up. This was originally a note on facebook, and when I copy and pasted, it made it weird!)
