Take me to the King

Take me to the King: Tamela Mann

Chorus:
Take Me To The King
I don't have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It's my offering
Take Me To The King

Verse 1:
Truth is I'm tired
Options are few
I'm trying to pray
But where are you?
I'm all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can't fake
What's left to do?

Truth is I'm weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch-will change-my life

Chorus:
Take Me To The King
I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn into pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Please Take Me To The King

Verse 2:
Truth is it's time
To stop playing these games
We need a word
For the people's pain

So Lord speak right now
Let it fall like rain
We're desperate
We're chasing after you

Bridge:
No rules, no religion
I've made my decision
To run to You
The healer that I need

Chorus:
Take Me To The King
I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn to pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And to sing to You this song

Take Me To The

Lord we're in the way
We keep making mistakes
Glory is not for us
It's all for You

Chorus
Take Me To The King
I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn to pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song

Take Me To The King 3x



I decided to take a deeper look inside myself for the guilt that I've been feeling lately. I guess maybe because this 'old' girl used to be a fornicater. I also used to not like church people. I've found more double minded people amongst churches than I have when I was out in the world. This song has really resonated with me today. I listened to it before i went to work. I was singing it last night. I was singing this morning. even in my dreams this song was playing. I've been known to make poor decisions which ultimately have led me to be wrong on a lot of occasions. But today, this conviction is just swallowing me whole. How do you say no to people you care about? How do you turn and walk away and do the right thing when everything within you is yearning to be there to help? For example; I offered my car to someone because they were getting ready to go on a trip and theirs wasn't working. Now really it's their own sink or swim. But genuinely we want to help the best that we can. It's not about getting something in return. No man can pluck us from the hand of God. But we willing fall out of it and into the world. It's like if sitting on the fence wasn't enough. We have to choose the difficult road in order to succeed in what "we" want to do. It's like an adrenaline Junky....they live for that rush and taste of almost dying. They don't know if they are going to live thru the endeavor but they do it anyway. When i think about the things in my life that i've done I'm never going to forget it. But i have let it go. It's glancing once in a while in that rear view mirror and realzing that time isn't on our side and that we don't know if we'll live from moment to moment.
So on this absolutely gorgeous day...think about the conviction/guilt that is in your life. Think about how you can make it better. and think about what within you should change. Don't ever change for someone; change for you and you alone. Because at the end of the day; It's you who's going to have to truly live with it.

Be blessed
