Fall to Pieces, by Krystal Meyers

When I fall to pieces, I know where to turn. Sometimes, it's irritating that it takes me completely breaking down before I turn to the One who can save me. It doesn't matter where I am though as long as I turn to Him.

Fall to Pieces: Krystal Meyers (Album: Krystal Meyers)

All the twisted lies and
All the empty promises that let me down
All this time I've compromised
And tried to find the easy way out

I'm letting go of all I've known
I never thought I'd say
"There's gotta be a better way"

[Chorus:]
When everything around me
Falls to pieces
I've got something more in my life
When I'm broken I see
Only You complete me
Yeah without You by my side
I fall to pieces every time

All my hopes and dreams and
All my selfish plans that crumbled in my hands
Made me realize I've gotta trust in something
Bigger than I am

I'm standing strong when all goes wrong
It's gonna be ok
I've finally found a better way

[Chorus:]
When everything around me
Falls to pieces
I've got something more in my life
When I'm broken I see
Only you complete me
Yeah without you by my side
I fall to pieces every time

A flower that's fading
Disintegrating
You're patiently waiting for me

[Chorus:]
When everything around me
Falls to pieces
I've got something more in my life
When I'm broken I see
Only you complete me
Yeah without you by my side
I fall to pieces every time

Esther, by Esterlyn

I first heard this song a few years ago. It was one of the most heart-felt songs I had heard in a while and quite different from the others performed that night. In the midst of all the hype for groups like Disciple, Kutless, and Stellar Kart, I still fondly remember this song. It came at a point where I was hurting because I didn't have a job or much money. It was a blessing that I even go to go to the concert.

But God is good. He provides messages for us when we need them most.

Esther: Esterlyn (Album: Lamps)

He heals the broken hearted
He binds their wounds
He is Love

He finds those forgotten
Those have been abused
He is Love

He knows your name

[Chorus]
A Father to the fatherless
A Healer of the brokeness you make
Beauty from the ashes

A Helper to the helpless
A Fighter for the hopeless you Love
Those who are alone
Those who are alone
[echoes Those who are alone]

[Second Verse]
He comforts the lonely
He hears their Cry
He is Love

He holds the children
Through out the night
He is Love

He knows your name

[Chorus]

A father to the fatherless
A healer of the brokeness you make
Beauty from the ashes

A helper to the helpless
A fighter for the hopeless you love
Those who are alone

[Bridge]
Gives us your Heart Lord help us Love the unseen
And give us your Eyes Lord help us Love those in need

[Chorus]
You're a father of the fatherless
A healer of the brokeness you make
Beauty from the ashes

You're a helper to the helpless
A fighter for the hopeless you love
Those who are alone
Those who are alone

He knows your name

On My Own, by Barlow Girl

Recently, I've been thinking about the phrase, "Let go and let God." It's always struck me as a silly phrase since God is always in control. However, He can't take control if we don't give Him that control in our personal lives. He controls everything around us, but we have free will. It's up to us to let Him into our lives. When we are baptized into the waters, we are washed away of the chains of sin.

We've let go and let Him in. Yes, there will be times when we mess up and we need His forgiveness, but we're never far away from Him. It's sometimes amazing how we look back and say to ourselves, "Why didn't I give up control earlier? I would've saved myself a lot of time." It's true, but without those struggles, we wouldn't come to the point where we need God. Coming to the point where we say, "I can't make it on my own" is tough.

It's something that I struggle with daily. I try to be all that I can be. I try to do what is right. However, there are a lot of times where I am not good enough to handle things on my own. Sin is more powerful than I. Free will is both "a gift and a curse." It causes us to choose God and causes us to stumble. But no matter at what point we decide we need God, He is there for us so we never have to handle anything on our own.

On My Own: Barlow Girl (Album: Barlow Girl)

I can't believe that I'm here in this place again
How did I manage to mess up one more time.
This pattern seems to be the story of my life
Should have learned this lesson by the thousandth time

'Cause I promised myself I wouldn't fall
But here I've fallen
I guess I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to You

Chorus
Oh God You have to save me
You're my last and only hope
All my right answers fail me
I can't seem to make it on my own

Always thought that I would be strong enough
What made all of them fall couldn't take me down
Yeah, did I think that I was above it all
I have learned that pride comes before the fall


I can't promise myself that I won't fall
'Cause here I've fallen
I know I'm not as strong as I thought
All I can do is cry to You

Chorus

On my own....
Yeah, yeah

God you have to save me
Your my last and only hope
All my right answers fail me
I can't seem to make it on my own
on my own, on my own.
yeah, yeah, yeah.
