I Will Not Go Quietly by Steven Curtis Chapman
I was born with an angel whispering in my ear
Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear
And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told
And even when they tell me it's my time to go
CHORUS: No I will not, No I will not
Not go quietly
No I will not, No I will not
Not go quietly no, no, Not go quietly no, no
Not go quietly
These things I tell, they are much true
Than the heart of he who speaks
Even so, this humble servant
Can not help but talk about his king
So I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream, Until God takes me home
CHORUS
So how can I keep silent?
So how can I not speak?
And tell about the savior
Who has set this prisoner free?

Talking to God about helping keep perspective while losing

Dear God,
I admit that I have come to both love
and hate the word "diet."
On the one hand, it represents hope for change.
On the other hand, it's like a sign flashing "Failure ahead!"
I don't want to simply embark on another faulty plan, Lord.
I want to embark on a journey with You
that is led by You and depends on Your power.
I can do nothing on my own!
Show me the right path that will enable me to change.
Show me, as only You, who knows me so intimately, can
what works for me, what is healthy for me.
I want to think of this venture in positive terms, Lord--
not that I am signing up to be miserable or in want.
I want to learn to redirect my thinking, to feed my body
what it truly needs when it truly needs it.
And to feed my soul with the Bread of Life--You!
Today I place my future, my failures, my setbacks,
all of my hopes and plans into Your hands.
There alone will I find meaning
and true success in my life.
Amen.

Pray it Off 05/25/2012 Song - Pray by Rebecca St. James
Pray by Rebecca St.
James
Jesus I am broken now
Before you I fall. I lay me down
All I want is you, my all
I cry out from the ashes
Burned with sin and shame
I ask you Lord to make me whole again
CHORUS: For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
There's forgiveness when I
Turn from me and pray
For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
You hear me and heal me when I pray
Your ways are not my own
But I long for them to be
So this is what I pray
One with you you'll make me
Melt me away 'til only you remain
CHORUS: For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
There's forgiveness when I
Turn to you and pray
For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
You hear me and heal me when I pray
Jesus I am broken now before you
Take me I am yours
Before you I fall. I lay me down
All I want is you, my all
I cry out from the ashes
Burned with sin and shame
I ask you Lord to make me whole again
CHORUS: For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
There's forgiveness when I
Turn from me and pray
For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
You hear me and heal me when I pray
Your ways are not my own
But I long for them to be
So this is what I pray
One with you you'll make me
Melt me away 'til only you remain
CHORUS: For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
There's forgiveness when I
Turn to you and pray
For you say if I will come and will
Pray to you
You hear me and heal me when I pray
Jesus I am broken now before you
Take me I am yours
