Help Wanted

“If you have really handed yourself over to Him it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”
—C.S. Lewis, *Christian Behavior* (Macmillan, 1943), p.66

HELP WANTED

I need …

You to wash away my sins…

You to make me clean again…

You here next to me…

You to wash away my pain…

You to make me whole again…

You to leave my past behind…

You to make my life brand new…

You to heal my broken heart…

You to encourage me each day…

You to love me where I am…

You to show me that I can…

You to set me free…

You to bring me peace…

Yesterday.
Today.
Tomorrow.

Day by day by day
by day by day by day
by day by day by day
by day…

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!
