Ben Pettit

I find myself in this place of discouragement. I feel that it is so hard to listen to someone who doesn’t know the Lord. What I mean is, someone comes to you with all their problems and their life that is so messed up. I really want to advise them and encourage them, but I feel like I can’t. Here is the thing, I know what they need. They need JESUS. They need Christ who died for them and wants to have a personal relationship with them.

I guess what I am saying is, you can’t advise someone who doesn’t know the Wonderful Counselor as Lord and Savior. So I feel like in one way I’m suppose to listen to the problems they have, but I know I’m not. I shouldn’t know or care about there sin. It’s kind of like Perry says at church so often, “I don’t want something from you, I want something for you”. For you to know Jesus Christ. I’ve prayed for some of my friends until I’ve had tears following like rivers. My heart aches for those who don’t know the Lord. My life has been forever changed by Jesus Christ and I want that so badly for everyone I meet.

Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
Call all the saints to join in the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords

I’m lying on a Tuesday morning
with nothing right to say
and living in a piece that saves me
now there’s something in the way

Believe me when I say to you
there’s nothing I can do
cause in my head a song is playing
maybe a song for your dismay
but I’m not strong enough to close that door
but I try and walk away

Believe me when I say to you
there’s nothing I can do
but tell myself that the smile she gives
are not for me
but so our little smile is all I have

And I’m gonna try
to keep this feeling for you at some distance
but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find
and I guess it’s time I found my spot in line

The time I spend with you is played now
to all the words that I can’t say
and I don’t think that I can last much longer
In this role I have to play

But believe me when I say to you
theres nothing I can do
but tell myself that the smile she gives
are not for me
but so our little smile is all I have

And I’m gonna try
to keep this feeling for you at some distance
but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find
and then tell myself the smiles she gives
are not for me
but so those smiles are all I have

And I’m gonna try
to keep this feeling for you at some distance
but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find
and I tell myself the smiles she gives
are not for me
but so are those smiles all I have

and I’m going to try and keep
this feeling for you at some distance
but the sweetness of your face is what I’ll find
and I guess it’s time I found my spot in line
one day I’ll find my spot in line
