Meno

[Verse 1]
Yeah, don't skip the intro
I filled it with some most important info
I've been broke, and I ain't talking ends
Though I've been low
My pride came crashing down like them towers after 9/10 (whoa)
Tearing up my life like Urkel hanging with the Winslows
Sat across the table with some dudes that I grew up with
Disgusted, they recognized my pride and we discussed it
I told 'em the realities of sin in this mortality
And how I bought the fallacy to focus on morality
Isaiah 1:11 hit me hard back in July
Read that verse about the Jews, all I could do was sit and cry
Felt like I couldn't read because the Lord withdrew His presence
I saw my sin and ate the dirt, fell low like filthy peasants
For a second I thought I would fall back into depression
But my boy John and my pastor told me hold fast to confession
And I set my eyes on Christ, because of Him I accepted
Where sin abounded, grace abounded more, I'm not exception

[Hook]
Lord I need Your help
It seems likely gone
I've been sitting here
Feeling all alone
Please don't leave me here
To face all my problems
Teach me to abide
Without You I am nothing
Lord I need Your help
It seems likely gone
I've been sitting here
Feeling all alone
Please don't leave me here
To face all my problems
Teach me to abide
Without You I am nothing

[Verse 2]
I read The Bruised Reed
It felt like Richard Sibbes wrote to me
Expounded on the Scriptures
Preached Christ and brought hope to me
I was bruised but not broken down, Matthew 12:20
Showed me through that passage how my loving Lord felt for me
Assurance was gone but God was present in my sorrow
I sought Him every day, wanting to find Him for tomorrow
Holy Spirit was my Counselor, prescribing medication
From the Word He was gracious to supply my meditations
More than ever, I noticed what my lack of prayer causes
I rely upon myself when I'm not in my prayer closet
I knew the Scripture but I failed to practice application
Looked in the mirror and my self became my fascination
Oh, wretched man that I am, who will rescue me
From this body -- what's that verse? -- rest in peace
Death, but thanks to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord
My flesh fights my spirit, Lord, help this civil war

[Hook]
Lord I need Your help
It seems likely gone
I've been sitting here
Feeling all alone
Please don't leave me here
To face all my problems
Teach me to abide
Without You I am nothing
Lord I need Your help
It seems likely gone
I've been sitting here
Feeling all alone
Please don't leave me here
To face all my problems
Teach me to abide
Without You I am nothing

[Outro: Chrys Jones and Daughter]
Can you tell Daddy who made you?
God made me
And is there more than one God?
No
Well, guess what, Daddy wants to teach you something
Say, "John 15"
John 15... no!
Abide... say, "Abide in the vine"
Abide in the vine
"Apart from Jesus"
Apart from Jesus
"We can do nothing"
We can do nothing
"Meno"
Meno... meno, what's meno?
Meno, it means "abide." It means abide in Christ
