Jeremiah 15: verses 10-21 Markita Knight sings "Always For Me"

For the next few weeks we will be exploring the rich laments of the prophet Jeremiah. Rich, because we can relate to the prophet's complaints, and also be encouraged that God gives us a script in His holy Word to speak to Him about the things that vex us. Chad shines a bright light on these words of Jeremiah, and meditates on God's responses. The talented Markita Knight sings "Always For Me".

Song Lyrics:

Jeremiah 15:10-21 Always For Me

I never asked for this,

Never asked to be born

In a world full of sin

Of struggle and scorn

I never asked for this….

Oh Lord, You know

I never asked to borrow

A dollar from anyone

Yet I’m cursed like a debtor

Like I owe them the sun

I never asked for this….

Oh Lord, You know

Chorus:

I’m not alone

When I cannot see

In the valley of despair

You are guiding me

To hold onto You

In You I am free

Your divine love, O Jesus

Is always for me

is always for me

Lord, You called me forth

Before I was born

You called me to be

A wall in the storm

In disaster and pain

O Lord, you know

Bridge:

You put your name in me

For your purpose

You put your name in me

By your grace

I am not worthy

To shine your light

But my heart sings out

You have given me sight
