This world is confused
And truth is growing dim
While every tree is firmly rooted
Sometimes limbs still break in the wind
Then drift away into the silence of the storm
You’re my Fortitude
You’re my Foundation
My Faith and Salvation
You are everything I am
You are everything I lack
And everything in between
You take the world off my shoulders
I listen to the beats of life
Still I don’t understand the music
I am deaf to the symphony in Your eyes
It’s too magnificent for me to bare
But You capture me before I am drawn into the storm
You’re my Fortitude
You’re my Foundation
My Faith and Salvation
You are everything I am
You are everything I lack
And everything in between
You take the world off my shoulders
Thank You God for that tree turned into the Cross
That Your Son and my Savior wore until He died, so that I might live
And Dear God I’ve finally realized what Christmas is truly about
It’s more than just material gifts
It’s about Love
You’re our Fortitude
You’re our Foundation
Our Faith and Salvation
You are everything that we are
You are everything that we aren’t
And everything You taught us that day
Takes the weight of the world off our shoulders
Thank You God for that tree turned into the manger
Where we laid Your Son that first Christmas day
So that thirty-three years later He might turn that manger into a cross
And take the weight of our sins off of our hearts
It’s about Love
Wow, that was really good!!! Great job! Keep God number 1!
