Stop the Ride

Too many times I've cried to you,
"Please forgive me, again I have sinned."
What's different now is I have learned,
If I turn to you Satan is pinned.
I'm tired of returning like a dog to his vomit,
I am through coming with empty promises.
Jesus, I know that you will pick me up,
and the god of this world only demolishes.

Lord, I want to serve you passionately,
but I know I am prone to fall.
Only if I lean on you,
will I be able to stand at all.


Daddy, I am through with this "amusement park,"
with "Roller-coaster Christian" me.
I'm sick from all this up and down,
In your arms is where I long to be.

Here it goes, I'm getting off,
this is where I stop the ride.
Forget waiting until the gate,
On this hill I must smash my pride.
So here's the deal, I'm sure to fall,
If I dismount on my own.
If I hit the bottom I'll surely die,
So Lord please carry me to your throne.

My hands are stretched, my eyes are closed,
I'm coming with godly sorrow.
I'm walking to you, leaning on faith,
There is no way I can wait till tomorrow.
