Take you back
The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Though my praise was few
When I fall I bring your name down
But I have found in you
A heart that bleeds forgiveness
replacing all these thoughts of painful memories
But I know that your response will always be
I'll take you back always
Even when your fight is over now (x2)
I'll take you back always
Even when the pain is coming through (x2)
I'll take you back
You satisfy this cry
Of what I'm looking for
And I'll take all I can
And lay it down before
The throne of endless grace now that radiates what's true
I'm in the only place that
erases all these faults
That have overtaken me
But I know that your response will always be
I'll take you back always
Even when your fight is over now(x2)
I'll take you back always
Even when the pain is coming through(x2)
I'll take you back
I can only speak with a grateful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift of your love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough
You take me back always
Even when my fight is over now (x2)
You take me back always
Even when my pain is coming through(x2)
You take me back (repeat these 5 lines twice)

“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”

i've gone to a ton of churches throughout my life, never really stayed at one for long during my childhood.
around 12 i went through a lot of verbal abuse and emotional abuse from christians.
i lost faith and fell into serious self injury.
now i am turning 16 in four and a half months, and i am trying to come out of self injury
and trying to come back to God...

It hurts me that you've suffered at the hands of Christians.
As fallen creatures, we do our best to represent Christ in this world...
but all too often people acting in the name of Christ do more harm than help...
It's wonderful that you're trying to come back to God.
There is much rejoicing in heaven when someone comes back to God.

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have a really good relationship with God apart from as soon as I SI then i feel like i've put up this massive barrier and then I feel too guilty to come before him because when I apologise I know in the back of my mind that I will probably do it again even though I'm trying not to. It takes ages for me to break through it and i never really go back to being as close to him and I kinda feel like atm that I can't have an amazing relationship with God until I stop cutting but I know I can't stop without him. I'm bit confused and stuck on what to do because I know I will cut again and I don't feel I can go to God knowing that I will and I feel like i should be able to trust him enough to say I'll never do it again but I can't because of how much I've messed up before. This is a lot of babble sorry, but you guys are pretty much the only Christian people I could ask.
I cant talk to anyone at my church, its to embarrassing. Hardly anyone understands what i am going through out of the people that i have in my life, except my tutor, which is good, but my friends dont understand why i see him as a friend and not just a tutor; he has helped me so much, even without me needing to ask for his help, he just offers to listen and help.
I must b lucky
my youth paster had an ED and cut
my best friend is a former burner
a verry good friend of mine recovering from si/ed
another 4 people from my youth group are recovering or have recovered from si

If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

We're always here if you need anything.
thank you for replying.
most people skim over me. heheh.
i had a revelation the other day.
no burning bushes or voices booming from the sky.
but i think that when i was first getting into SI,
i asked God to help me stop.
and it wasn't even that i exactly meant it.
i wanted to feel like i was still connected to him.
almost four years later, i think he's answered me.
and it surprised me so much when i figured it out,
that i had to pull off the road.

theres a reason he dosent use that method any more and the first thing the angles said "don't be afraid". It scares the heck out of people. Its a good sign you heard from god that means your life isnt soo loud you miss his still small voice.

yes, God is very considerate that way.
my life is pretty quiet.
i survive on three friends and i clean to pass the time.
a friend of mine suggested that i lock myself in my room to fast and worship
and promise that i won't leave the room until God reveals himself to me...
Hmmm. That's an interesting idea, but I do see a problem with it.
God works on His timetables, not ours...
So fasting = good thing when done correctly
Worship = arguably the most important part of life
I just don't recommend locking yourself in your room...
Also, pray often and read the scriptures.
James 4:8a says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."
So just seek Him, and trust that He will reveal Himself to you in His time.
yeah, i can see how that's a problem. =/
i've been reading a lot of proverbs.
it's pretty much my favorite book so far.
it has some really good stuff in it.
hi, Im really pleased about this thrread!!! i am a christian and have just finished going to an Alpha group, since then i feel more touched by God and its a really good idea to have this thread.
