Don't Forsake Me
We are addicted to sin. It seems like as soon as we tell God we'll never do it again. We fail again. Does it ever seem like you might have just passed the limit to the number of sins that God's love is capable of forgiving? This worship song is about a person's plea for mercy and the grace that God offers us. The Psalms are filled with songs like this.
The musical flow to this song has soft acoustic verses with a driving chorus (with an acoustic chorus after the bridge) similar to: Undo & My Savior, My God |
