Catch Me When I Fall

Here are my verses for today (from Psalm 55:16-22)

I call to God;
He will help me.

At dusk, dawn, and noon I sigh
deep sighs--he hears, he rescues.

My life is well and whole, secure
in the middle of danger
Even while thousands
are lined up against me.

God hears it all, and from his judge's bench
puts them in their place.
But, set in their ways, they won't change;
they pay him no mind.

And this, my best friend, betrayed his best friends;
his life betrayed his word.

All my life I've been charmed by his speech,
never dreaming he'd turn on me.
His words, which were music to my ears,
turned to daggers in my heart.

Pile your troubles on GOD's shoulders--
he'll carry your load, he'll help you out.
He'll never let good people
topple into ruin.


CATCH ME
Catch me, Lord
When I fall
Sometimes I don't see clearly
Sometimes I don't see at all
I need Your strong hand
to guide me through
I need Your loving heart
to show me what to do

To love others unconditionally
To accept them and to forgive
To release these heavy burdens
And to begin to really live

Catch me, Lord
When I fall
Let me hear Your sweet voice
When You call
"Do unto others as you would have done unto you"
"Sow mercy as you've been given mercy"
"Love them as I have loved you"

Catch me, Lord
Catch me when I fall
.elw.

CATCH ME WHEN I FALL (lyrics from Ashlee Simpson)
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody see
That when the lights are off something's killing me

I know it seems like people care
Cause they're always around me
But when the day is done and everybody runs

Who will be the one to save me from myself?
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

When the show is over
And it's empty everywhere
It's hard to face going back alone

So I walk around the city
Anything, anything to clear my head
I've got nowhere to go nowhere but home

Who will be the one to save me from myself?
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

It may seem I have everything
But everything means nothing
When the ride that you've been on
That you're coming off
Leaves you feeling lost

Is anybody out there?
Does anyobdy see?
That sometimes loneliness is just a part of me

Who will be the one to save me from myself?
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
And not ashamed to see me crawl?

Who's gonna catch me when I fall?
