  • Hang on a sec...

    Let me turn off the music real quick.

    Ok.

    I've had a cleansing I think... I could be the fact that I'm tired, or maybe I'm more honest when I'm quiet and it's just me. And God.

    I have this cycle where no matter if I've been surrendering everything to the Lord in prayer I just have to take some extra time and solidfy it, this Great Giving Up. This is where most of my songs come from, taking the time to sit down and spend some time speaking to the Lord of my surrender.

    I don't want to hold on to "my right" to "my life."

    I want to love without asking anything in return. I want to live in purity,, to do what is right simple because purity is an outward reflection of peace in the soul. I've have been made new so now I can and shall act like it. It's not "How much can I willfully screw up and still get to Heaven" but simply how can I most please our Heavenly Father."

    This is why I wrote this song. I did what some people call cursing in this song, but it is not. Cursing is to wish someone evil, to say "Go to Hell!, or "You're stupid." And Perverse talk is acting as a honosexual as a joke or joking around about infidelity or non-marital sex, or "joking" about killing someone or something. So please give Mucho grace. Thanks!

    Oh! and as with anything you love, listen to every word. Slowly if you don't mind. Here goes.

    Why do I love my sin
    ‘cause I feel like shit when I give in
    Why do I hate to lose
    ‘cause to love you is to let you loose

    I’ve tried to gain the world
    I’ve tried to win the girl

    Heaven is my home
    But I hold on to my gold
    God is my guide
    But I’m asking for my own advice

    Jesus, stop me now
    I’m turning to my self again
    Heaven show me how
    To love her and not close her in

    I've tried to gain the world
    I've tried to win the girl

    I release my rights
    (As if they ever were mine)
    I love my guide
    My heart is every after Him. (Beacause in Him we live, and move, and have our being)

    That song is called, "What Heaven Requires." You can listen to it on my myspace if you want.

  • I feel like this alot..and its especially hard because I go to public school, and trying not to cuss or
    talk about immoral stuff ,all the while trying to fall even more in love with God is tough.
    Its encouraging to know someone else is going through that too.

    good song too!
