Restore Me by Phoenix Solis

[SaveTheWorldWithRock]

After going through a pretty tough time, I finally went back to God because I figured everything else just made me feel worse and God really smacked me upside the head and pulled me back. This is what I wrote after I had a breakdown in church.


Beaten broken
So ashamed
Hiding from
Your perfect face
Living a lie
Afraid to tell the truth
But now I’m running
Running back to you

Back to your arms
I’m running now
Where mercy, grace
And forgiveness are found
Back to you
I’m coming now
At your feet I fall
Please restore
Restore me

A filthy wretch
Living in sin
All I want
Is to be pure again
Looking for hope
In all the wrong ways
But now I’m turning
My eyes towards you

Back to your arms
I’m running now
Where mercy, grace
And forgiveness are found
Back to you
I’m coming now
At your feet I fall
Please restore
Restore me

I’m ruined
And broken
Lord I need you now
Forgive me
Embrace me
Lord restore me now
I’m ruined
And broken
Lord I need you now
Forgive me
Embrace me
Lord restore me

Back to your arms
I’m running now
Where mercy, grace
And forgiveness are found
Back to you
I’m coming now
At your feet I fall
Please restore
Restore me

That's really well written.

....even tho i dont know your circumstances, i know what its like to be 'living a lie' (for whatever reasons that may be) to the point that you simply cant take it anymore. i must confess that among the many avenues of relief i ventured to take, the ones that helped me the greatest were developing my spirituality, and music..

And not just any music, but music that you can really relate to. So for me personally, listening to SP is like taking that miracle pill once a day; gives me a daily pep talk when i need it.

i listen to YOU'RE GOING DOWN when i drive like a bat outta hell or want to beat the crap outta someone (lol), MY WORLD, ALL THE SAME, ODD ONE, etc. when im totally depressed...

and what i especially love about their music is that it seems to really have such a genuine unifying effect on the crowd; i especially noted that when watching the various youtube videos submitted for the MAYBE contest.

cant wait for them to come back to orlando!!!

I do the same thing. Sick Puppies really help me to escape and to vent. I recently got out of a relationship and the guy told me that I would be nothing without him but that I'd be an alcoholic and that I'm not worth anyone's time. Justify became my anthem as well as Maybe.

wow, that's horrible! definitely sounds like quite a rough patch you're going through but i'm glad to hear it sounds like you are trying your best not to let it get you down completely, even though it might be hard.

just remember you're not alone darlin'

keep your chin up

Thanks! I wound up dating the guy again and he proved to be a jerk...again. We're still friends now and I'm helping him heal because he is starting to become what he said I would be (and what i did start doing). I looked for answers in all the wrong places. I'm about to post a partial of another song. Go check it out. Its called Ordinary.
