My Paper Heart

The words are on the tip of my tongue,
But I can't seem to put them in order.
I try to let everything go,
But I'm hitting all the wrong notes.

The keys are crumbling under my fingers,
My weaknesses are clouding my mind.
I struggle cause I know I'm not strong enough,
The fear of failing haunts my steps.

I'm waiting on You,
Sometimes I get so tired of myself.
I want more than this,
I want to do more then just exist.

I try so hard, to hide the fact that my heart is fragile.
Give me the life that Jesus breathes.

I dig myself so deep sometimes,
That in the depths I lose sight of the light.
I'm finding now I don't have to be strong enough,
Though I mess up You remind me that You are love.

I'm waiting on You,
Sometimes I get so tired of myself.
I want more than this,
I want to do more then just exist.

I want You to shine through,
Make me into something new.
Your love is the only thing that can burn this paper heart,
And make me complete.

Yep, I'm a Lord of the Rings geek. ;)

This is pretty much the best ever. :)

Sam: "It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the ending, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, the shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had chances to turn back, only they didn't. They kept going, because they were holding on to something."

Frodo: "What are we holding on to, Sam?"

Sam: "That there's some good in this world Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
