Story behind the song
A song I recently wrote while reading through a course our church is going through, based on the 'First Choice' in the book Life's Healing Choices. It's Only When we are truly broken that God can fix us, and it's only when we're empty that He can fill us.
Lyrics
Only When It's only when I come to the end of myself That I find You. It's only when I hunger and thirst for righteousness That I'm satisfied in You. And it's only when I close my eyes and get alone with You That I see Your face And understand You've been waiting all this time To tell me Chorus: It's only when I'm empty That You'll fill me to the brim And it's only when I'm weak That You'll strengthen me again So empty me of all I am Erase the sin and shame and sham And fill me with Your self I want to show Your light Not the dark of who I am. It's only when I know that I can't do this on my own That You'll help me. It's only when I give up and surrender to You That I'll find the Victory And it's only when I'm broken and repent of all my sin That You'll pick me up, and fix me up And remind me once again Chorus:
