Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and Needy

it's not by our strength that we return to Him. He picks us up and brings us home again to Himself.. even after we ourselves tear ourselves from His embrace to run back to the Trash-dump called sin that we're so comfortable in.. after we fall in the dung and mire, helpless and broken, He takes us back in His arms and gives us new clothes, and a new identity..

How deep the Father's love for us indeed!

Read: Psalm 86

Songs of the day
-- Undo -- by Rush of Fools, and
-- How many Kings -- by downhere..

Undo
I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Chorus

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You
