Song Title: Can't Remember.
Singer: Would like to give him more acknowledgement but don't know.
Impact: Lifetime

Renew me down again,
Ever at your feet,
Show me how much you love humility,
O Spirit be the star that leads me to,
The humble God of love,
I see in you.

You are the God of the broken,
The friend of the meek,
You wash the feet of the weary,
Embrace the ones in need,
I want to be like you Jesus,
To have this heart in me.
You are the God of the humble,
You are the humble King.

The song above is the closest to my heart. More than the words, the songwriter amazes me. I always find it the hardest to truly sing this song was when I go through a difficult time. One day, I stopped singing at "I want to be like you Jesus..." because I was going through a lot and having Jesus' heart wasn't really my concern, so I rewrote it:


The hardest time to give
Is when you want,
The hardest time to love,
Is when you're hurt,
The hardest time to walk,
Is when your feet,
Can't carry you no more,
To the rest you need.

And you are the God of the broken,
The friend of the meek,
You wash the feet of the weary,
Embrace the ones in need,
I need to be like you Jesus,
To heal this pain in me,
For only you can be worthy
To change this heart of mine.

I've loved too long in words,
Day in and out,
I have carried when I could,
But failed no doubt,
O Spirit, how can I bear any more?
When all my strength is gone,
And my arms are sore.

For you are the God of the broken,
The friend of the meek,
You wash the feet of the weary,
Embrace the ones in need,
I tried to be like you Jesus,
To bear and to care,
But I have fallen away,
And failed once again.

O Jesus, take me home
Where I can reach,
The rest you promised me,
That the world can't teach
O Spirit, be my guide that leads me to,
The humble heart I need,
to be with you.

Yes you are the God of the broken,
The friend of the meek,
You wash the feet of the weary,
Embrace the ones in need,
I want to be like you Jesus,
To have this heart me,
You are the God of the humble,
You are the humble King.
