So Help Me God-dc Talk

I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
But daily taking up my cross
Has brought it's share of splinters

You're there when I call
And You're there when I fall
Even though I don't deserve it all
You, You light my way
Through the night and the day
And from You I will not stray

So help me God
To put my faith in You
So help me God
Before I come unglued
Call it my addiction
I can't get enough of You
So help me God
To put my faith in You

 

Faith is hard. Trust is hard. But grace makes both possible. The hope we have when our cross seems too heavy to bear is Jesus crucified. He died that we will live. When we realize He gives us faith though we are faithless, He gives us trust though we are untrustworthy, and He gives us grace though we are sinners, we will truly understand the mercy of God. It will cause us to run to Him and never let go despite our deficiencies.

 

Paul reminds us that though we are great sinners, God's mercy is greater through Jesus:  

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life 1Timothy 1:15-16

There are times in our lives when our faith is weak and small; in those times we must cry out to the Lord and ask for His help in trusting Him.
