Ocean Floor

Audio Adrenaline - Ocean Floor
From the album Lift

The mistakes I've made
That caused pain
I could have done without
All my selfish thoughts
All my pride
The things I hide
You have forgot about
They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
Of the ocean floor
My disdeeds
All my greed
All the things that haunt me now
They're not a pretty sight to see
But they're wiped away
By a mighty wave
A mighty wave, mighty wave
They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
Of the ocean floor
Take them away
To return no more
Take them away
To the ocean floor

After-thoughts:

Many a times, when I fall short of God's standards, I berate myself for falling short. I tend to dwell on "Oh, why am I so weak? I shouldn't be tempted by this anymore!" or "Why am I so stupid? This is the dumbest thing I could have ever done!" yeaps, many a time I play junior Holy Spirit in my life, when I should be listening to Him...

But God is gracious and merciful - He reminds me that I am now not yet the finished product He intended - still WIP ("Works In Progress"). God, outside the constraints of space and time, have already forsee my end, my finaly state. Even though I may fail God, He will never fail me. Out of the miry clay, He will lift me high above. Not by my works, but by His grace. There are still areas in my life that still needs to be moulded by God. It's not all easy and painless, being subjected to the Master's ministerings. But I know He is faithful - as long as I am willing, He is able!

 

Psalm 103:11-13 (New International Version)

  ¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
       so great is his love for those who fear him;

 ¹² as far as the east is from the west,
       so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

 ¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
