This is a song I wrote. Its about my struggles with self-reliance. Taking my life out of God's hands and trying to be in control. Things aren't structured when God is not in control. My view anyway.

Praise Your Name

Let it rain. Let it rain. Open the flood gates of heaven. (2x) Let it rain.

Let it rain down. Open up your gates. I need to see the Son. Feel the rain on my face. Cause this is my season. I see You on the Cross arms wide cut and bleeding. Pour it out on me. My heart is wide open. I need to hear voice and listen to every word spoken. So send forth Your clouds. I'm ready to be tamed. I'm here on my knees and I'm praying for Your reign (rain).

Let it rain. Let it rain. Open the flood gates of heaven. (2x) Let it rain.

I will praise your name. Give all the glory to You. I’ll be in the sanctuary screaming hallelujah. Yes, its You I need. Even though I try, I know without You I never will succeed. In my life I live a lie. I’m trying to live for You but instead its myself I truly glorify. I can’t live this way. Its eating me alive. I got to make this right before the day I die. I’m standing here confused. Lost in my own ways. A slave to my sin and not worthy of your praise. My life’s a contradiction. I want to preach the gospel to all the people missing it. But first I got to fix myself and I can’t do this alone. That’s why I depend on my Father to carry me home. Yeah. I’m tired of running through this maze. Fighting my flesh just keeps me in a daze. I’m serious about this. It ain’t a game. So until I figure it out I’m just gone praise your name.

Praise your name. Praise your name. Only for you will I give praise. Praise your name. Praise your name. For my life, I wana give thanks. Praise your name.

I got to thank you, Lord, for being in my life. You been so good to me, you brought me to the light. But then I turned my back. I became a stray. I gave up on living. Even gave up on my faith. God I'm sorry. I'm a sinner not a winner. I open up the sin and then I enter. Walk straight through it. Satan in my ear telling me to do it. He tells me I'm not strong enough to fight it. I can't deny it. I give it to you, Father, cuz in You I can hide it. Confine it. Take it from me, Lord, this addiction of the flesh. Like the people past on, I'm putting it to rest.

Praise you name. Praise your name. Only for you will I give praise. Praise your name. Praise your name. For my life I wana give thanks. Let it rain. Let it rain. Open the flood gates of heaven. Let it rain.
