Made this song a little while ago and thought it would be good here...

Made with Logic pro 9

Generally this song is about the times when we are weakest in our Christian walk and the struggle in the mind to continue in God’s ways, not my ways or the worlds.

Verse 1
Feeling like I’ve used up all I am
but these days never seem to end
and I’m trying the best that I can
but I have no strength left

Pre-Chorus 1
Contemplating my idols again
to put strength in me
contemplating my old life again
if you could call death life

Chorus
Oh when the passion is gone
and we’ve grown so dull
I’ll point out my sins
lay them before Him
and embrace the God
who breathes life within

Verse 2
I thought I could live by being good
but I always find something bad
that doesn’t reach God’s high standards
so I make more faulty systems

Pre-Chorus 2
contemplating my false god again
because the law is running me empty
contemplating my old life again
because I can’t do this myself

Bridge
I’m not living to obey legalistically
or abuse Your grace
I’m living because You love and care for me
and every time my pride comes up within
I’ll humble myself with where I’ve been
so I can love again

Verse 1
Feeling empty from general daily life

Pre-Chorus 1
Considering tv, music, games, accomplishments and other things to be my source of fulfilment. Not being wrong to participate in such things. But at times (especially when feeling empty) I can attach myself to things as to find my identity in them. But this is the way of my old nature and my sinful flesh. This way of life only leads to death, they are not the source of life

Chorus
In this state of emptiness
I’ll point out these wrong things I’m doing or considering doing
let go of them (for these are the things which Jesus took my blame for)
and come back to God who is the true source of life

Verse 2
I believed all I had to be was good
but I could never continually do good under God’s standards. In a human effort to be righteous I make systems of living (legalism), which are not from the heart and will fail.

Pre-Chorus 2
Considering a false idea of god that I have made in my mind. The idea that god will let me sin and won’t care. The truth of my sinfulness (as made clear by the law’s of righteousness God made) is making me more empty.
Considering my old way of life because I can’t follow God in my strength

Bridge
I’m not living as a Christian to obey laws or ignore laws
I’m living in the love God has for me
and every time I think any accomplishment or grace is something that I’ve done myself I’ll remember I could do nothing, it’s all God. And living in love enables me to love
