When you feel no hope

edited December 1969 in Personal Issues
Hi, I came across a few songs by Mary Mary (a Christian group) and they are really great.
Especially for those times when we feel God can never forgive us and we are too far.

Here are 2 songs, maybe they can make you feel better.

So Close

There's something in your yesterday that's keeping you away from Him
Making you believe what you've done, He won't forgive
Telling you that you're just too far from Him
But there is something He wants you to know

That there's no road that you can travel to
A place that's too far

'Cause He's so close he can hear you breathing
He's so near He can wipe your tears
Mend your heart, He knows it's been broken
He's standing with His arms wide open
For so long He's been waiting, everyday anticipating
For you to realize that He's so close to you

Everybody knows sometimes we all make mistakes
And when you try to do what's right, wrong gets in you way
You feel you're just a failure and you can't forgive yourself
But God can make it better if you only ask for help

There's no road that you can travel to
A place that's too far

He's so close He can hear you breathing
He's so near He can wipe your tears
Mend your heart, He knows it's been broken
Standing with His arms wide open
For so long He's been waiting, everyday anticipating
For you to realize that He's so close to you

There's no road that you can travel to
A place that's too far

'Cause He's so close He can hear you breathing
He's so near He can wipe your tears
Mend your heart, He knows it's been broken
Standing with His arms wide open
For so long He's been waiting, everyday anticipating
For you to realize that He's so close to you

Still My Child

He had many of bad habits
He was trying hard to break
And every time he thought it got better
He would make another mistake
Though he knows he's far from perfect
He is trying to live right
He asked me to ask You Father
Would You hear his prayer tonight?

He said tell him that I really need him
And I really want to change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name
Oh, tell Him that I really love Him
And although it's been a while
Ask Him for me am I still His child

I asked her how she was doing
She said not so good lately
Then I told her girl you know
You can always talk to me
She said these days haven't been so happy
Haven't had much peace of mind
Now I know that I should be praying
But I haven't had much time

I know the answer to your question
Yes the Father still loves you
But sometimes when you have children
You don't always like what they do
So when go to your heavenly Father
Say Lord I love You
And when you ask Him for forgiveness
This is what He'll say to you

I sent a message in the wind
When the birds sang their song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moon shine all night long
Just wanted you to talked to me
And I know it's been a while
And to answer the question
You are still my child
