Casting Crowns
These two songs have been the background music of my journey. First coming to my attention during the summer of 2017 as I wrestled and wrote, they spoke salve over my heart. (See lyrics below.)
God of All My Days, continues to speak to me of the security that I find in the arms of God even as I question and wrestle. I don't have to be right or have it all figured out for Him to love me and for us to be in relationship.
One Step Away still speaks to me today of how any of us - in any given moment, on any given day, no matter where we are or what we have done - are truly only a one step turn from falling into the hands of our loving God and Father.
God of All My Days ~ Casting Crowns
And found the God with healing in His hands
I turned to You, put everything behind me
And found the God who makes all things new
I looked to You, drowning in my questions
And found the God who holds all wisdom
And I trusted You and stepped out on the ocean
You caught my hand among the waves
'Cause You're the God of all my days
Each step I take
You make a way
And I will give You all my praise
My seasons change, You stay the same
You're the God of all my days
I ran from You, I wandered in the shadows
And found a God who relentlessly pursues
I hid from You, haunted by my failure
And found the God whose grace still covers me
I fell on You when I was at my weakest
And found the God, the lifter of my head
And I've worshiped You
And felt You right beside me
You're the reason that I sing
'Cause You're the God of all my days
Each step I take
You make a way
And I will give You all my praise
My seasons change, You stay the same
You're the God of all my days
In my worry, God You are my stillness
In my searching, God You are my answers
In my blindness, God You are my vision
In my bondage, God You are my freedom
In my weakness, God You are my power
You're the reason that I sing
'Cause You're the God of all my days
Each step I take
You make a way
And I will give You all my praise
My seasons change, You stay the same
You're the God of all my days
In my blindness, God You are my vision
And in my bondage, God You are my freedom
All my days
One Step Away ~ by Casting Crowns
What if you could go back and relive
one day of your life all over again
And unmake the mistake
that left you a million miles away
From the you, you once knew
Now yesterday’s shame keeps
CHORUS:
You’re one step away from surrender
One step away from coming home,
coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You’re one step away
You’re not alone
It doesn’t matter how far you’ve
gone
Mercy says you don’t have to keep
running down the road you’re on
Love’s never met a lost cause
Your shame, lay it down
Leave your ghosts in the past ‘cause
you know that you can’t go back
But you can turn around
You’ve never been more than…
CHORUS:
One step away from surrender
One step away from coming home,
coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You’re not alone (not alone)
You’re one step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You’re one step away
CHORUS:
