fix me

Over the past few days I have been painfully aware of my brokenness, my self-centeredness and my sin. Being selfish is hard to face up to. I found some comfort listening to Coldplay's new CD X&Y. They have a stark and honest realism about the brokenness of life and within themsleves and yet they always posess something more that seems to pull them through the difficulty, hurt and despair - HOPE. I was driving in my car and the song Fix You came on WYEP and it ministered to me. I see this song as a confession of sorts. It helped me acknowledge the stickiness and the deceptiveness of sin, the promises sin makes that it cannot fullfill. And I provided me a moment to cry out to God and ask him to guide me home, reignit my bones and fix me. Check it out...

When you try your best but you dont succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you cant sleep - Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you cant replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste - Could it be worse

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below

When youre too in love to let it go

But if you never try youll never know

Just what youre worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I
Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you
