Life Itself lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Life Itself lyrics Before the break of dawn My heart cries out to You Where I?m surrounded by my night Here all my weaknesses will wait upon Your mercy The hope of dawn from black to white From black to white I love You more than life itself Lord, You are so good to me I need You more with every breath So won?t You breathe some life in me Won?t You breathe some life in me Awakening the dawn, with all my heart I sing to You You are the reaSon that I live Under me, over, all around I know You?re with me Never condemning: You forgive No matter where I go No matter where I stand Your Spirit always speaks to me And tells me whose I am With every breath I take And every choice I make My heart will always sing to You Behind the Song: "On a hot summer night in Georgia, just after I graduated college, I was lying awake at 4 a.m. and regretting decisions I?d made the day before. I don?t remember what it was specifically that was keeping me awake that night, I just remember knowing it was wrong and being sick about it. I repented, begging God for His forgiveness and redemption, and declaring my intent to change my ways. I knew I was free, and that He gave me that forgiveness immediately, because I John 1:9 says that ?if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.? However, I still had to live with myself ? wretched man that I am! I also read in the Bible that His mercies are new every morning, and that ?weeping may last for a night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.? So as I lay there looking out my window?longing for a red line on the horizon, a bird singing, the faintest glimmer of a brand new day?I wrote this song. As the sun finally rose, I was reminded of God?s consistent goodness, His ever-present help in times of need. Most of all, I felt a sense of belonging. It?s not who I am that gives me confidence and hope, it?s Whose I am." - Aaron Shust song lyrics
