Lyrics for the Day

The lyrics for today come from a CD I was given by my Philosophy professor. The song is "To the Extreme" and is by the Catholic artist Curtis Stephan off the CD Sacred Revolution.
So tired of chasing my worldly dreams
'cause nothing is what it seems.
In circles, I run on endlessly, spinning 900 degrees.
There's a hole deep down inside;
was still there no matter what I tried,
I'm crying out for what I need!

Jesus, turn my life around, turn it upside down
Oh and fill me with your love.
Jesus, I give my heart to you,
I know your words are true,
they're the lamp unto my feet.
And I will follow you. . .

Surrender does not come naturally
'cause fear's got a hold on me.
But I trust you 'cause you can
set me free from what is enslaving me.
Give me the grace to let it go,
Lord, let your love and mercy show,
I'm crying out for what I need!

Your love went to the extreme,
love took you to Calvary!

I'm running so as to win the prize
now that I realixe, with this love I can
do anything through Christ who strengthens me.
You pick me up when I fall down
you plant my feet on solid ground,
I'm crying out for what I need!
