CHORUS

COMMENTARY:

I wrote this song during one of the darkest times in my life. I had made a series of really bad decisions and felt horrible. I felt as though I was drowning in an ocean of remorse because of my bad decisions. It was in those deepest darkest times that I was really able to grab a hold of God's mercy and forgiveness. Of course, there was a time of repentance and then a long amount of time that I had to deal with not feeling the residual guilt and shame, but Jesus died not only to take away our sin, but to take away our guilt and shame, too. Only Jesus can recuse us from the ocean of remorse.

Renewal Song

RENEWAL SONG
Christian Jung
(c) 2004

VERSE 1
Em-------------------------Asus---A------C-------------------------------G
If I say, "Lord, please forgive me," why do I still stumble and fall?
Em---------------------------Asus---A-----C------------------------G
When I pray for You to change me, have I given You my all?
Em------------Asus---A-----------C
I'm always doing the things I don't want to do
G
I'm sick and tired of failing You
Em----Asus--A-----C---------------------------------G
How long must I wait for deliverance from sinful existence?

CHORUS
G-----D/F#--Em--------------C-----------C/B----------Am--------------D
Spirit of Truth, I'm asking You for renewal and strength to remain in You
G---D/F#--Em----------------C---------------C/B
Giver of life, this heart of mine needs forgiveness
Am-----------------------D-------------Em
And Your healing tendernous, too

VERSE 2
Em---------------------Asus--A-----C----------------------------------G
If I say that I've got faith, Lord, why do I act like You're not there?
Em------------------------Asus--A---C--------------------G
Do I see You as my Savior? Or do I really even care?
Em-----------Asus---A---------C-----------------G
I'm on the outside looking into my heart, I know I need a brand new start
Em------Asus--A---C------------------------------------G
How long must I wait for assistance? Please don't keep Your distance

CHORUS

CHORUS

COMMENTARY:

We've all been there as Christ-followers. We've been at the place where we are fed up with screwing up and falling back into sinful patterns. The apostle Paul was, too. In fact, there are almost direct quotes from him in this song. We get torn between wanting to just hurry up and go to heaven, yet we want to be set free from the sinful nature that we have, here on this side of eternity. The chorus really expresses the need for spiritual renewal in our life. God is so patient with us. He is so gentle, so tender. He long for us to be honest with Him. If we are feeling like crap, we ought to feel free to talk to Him about it. Only Jesus has the answers to our deepest questions and only He can truly heal us and give us real freedom.

COMMENTARY:

This is probably my favorite of the worship songs I have written. This concept seems to be so foreign to many: worship in silence, or worship in waiting. Communication with God through prayer and worship is a two way street. Us talking and singing to God, and God talking to us. True worship is a response to God for who He is and all that He does. God communicates His love to us, and we respond with words of thanks and praise and sing songs to Him. The key element that is missing so often in the worship experience is just remaining silent before God and waiting for Him to whisper His still small voice. Many people go into times of prayer and worship thinking that it is our duty, and that it will help us in our own lives. This is true in part, but selfishness can be the motivation in this if we are not careful. We need to understand that God is waiting for us, everyday, to come to Him with all that is on our heart. And He wants to share with us that which is on His heart. But we really can't take it in if we are talking or singing al ot of times. We can find Yahweh in the silence. So selah - pause - rest in the Lord. You will find Him in the silence.
