MONDAY MORNING OFFERING: 3/6

Coffee in the Morning by George Mendoza

I've been posting a Monday Morning Offering for nearly 

15 years...  This week I wondered about the things we may

find difficult to offer, the things we find hard to give up...

 

Good morning, good God!

 

I need your help here, Lord, 

because this morning I want to offer you

    • whatever it may be •

that I'm least inclined to offer,

to acknowledge, admit to, reveal, lift up 

and let go this Lent

- or on any Monday morning in my life...

I need your help here, Lord,

to discover, to own up to and let go

    • whatever it may be •

that's buried in my soul,

hidden in my inmost thoughts

and locked up in a secret place,

holding me back, keeping me down

and cheating my heart of the simple peace

I so much want and need...

I need your help here, Lord,

I need your grace and strength to face

    • whatever it may be •

that keeps me from making changes

    I know I need to make;

that keeps me from reaching out for help

    I really need to accept;

that keeps me from moving step by step

    to where I long to be

        but cannot seem to reach...

 

I know I need your help 

because I've tried for oh-so-long

to do this on my own, to offer up

    • whatever it may be •

that keeps my heart from joy,

from the happiness 

I know you want for me...

So this morning, Lord, 

I offer my desire to discern

    • whatever it may be •

that I need to offer up 

that your grace might set me free...

Amen.

    

Help Me Let Go by Tasha Layton

Think I'm gonna cave underneath the pressure 

Tell me there's a way to make these burdens light 

To make it out alive 

 

I can't hold this world with my two hands 

I can't hold this world but God you can 

 

Help me let go Help me let go 

It always works out better 

When I give up and give you control 

The pieces fall together 

Help me let go Help me let go 

 

When I'm unafraid to trust you and surrender 

Chase the fear away with only perfect love 

A love that's strong enough 

 

I can't hold this world with my two hands 

I can't hold this world but God you can 

 

Chorus

 

When I fall I fall into you 

When I let go you catch me You always do 

When I fall I fall into you 

When I let go you catch me You always do 

You always do 

 

Chorus
