"I don't want to lose heart."

All men lose heart, but I don't want to lose heart.
All men lose faith, but I don't want to lose faith.
All men ache with the pain and regret of their past, but it doesn't have to be that way.
All men grow weary of doing what is good, but I don't want to be like other men.
I'm not like other men.
I am Yours.

You said we would find renewal of our strength.
You said You would mend the brokenhearted.
You said You would set the captives free.
You said that even if we were faithless You would remain faithful.
You said that You Yourself would wipe away our every tear.

If You have said it, Lord, then I know it to be true.
For by Your Word You declare things that are not as though they were.
You nullify things that are as though they were not.

Surely, You can make strength from my weakness.
Faith from my faithlessness.
Joy from my sorrow.
A new heart from these broken pieces.

I don't wish to argue with You anymore, Father.
I believe that You are who You say You are, and that I am who You say I am.
If You have said it, Lord, then I know it to be true.
If You have spoken it...then it is.
