Forgive Me…

ByTim Nolte
I wrote this some time ago. I can’t find my recording of it so looks like I may be re-recording it.

Forgive Me
Words & Music by Timothy J Nolte

V1:
Oh Lord, I had walked with You.
You guided me, You led my feet.
I let go of Your guiding hand,
And slowly drifted away.

Chorus:
Oh Lord, please forgive me.
Oh Lord, I need You in my life.
Oh Lord, please forgive me.
Oh Lord, I give to You my life.

V2:
Oh Lord, I saw Your servant work,
Your wondrous power, Your healing words.
I felt Your calling in my heart,
And I yearned to serve.

V3:
I come to You a broken man,
I fall before Your Holy throne.
In Your light I see my sinfulness,
My unworthiness to come to You.

V4:
I thank You for the saving grace,
You gave to us through Your Son.
I ask now for Your forgiveness,
To walk with You once again.

    So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house. Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my…

    Working From Rest, Productivity At It’s Best

    ByTim Nolte
    “Man’s blessing didn’t come from what he produced, rather, what he produced stemmed from his blessing. Let that blessing fuel your work, so that striving ceases and what you produce comes out of a place of rest.” – SELAH | Defining Rest In The Age Of Productivity The start of this study reminded me of the Life Shapes, specifically the Semi-Circle. There has been a lot of proof that in order to perform at our best we need adequate rest. What that rest looks like can be different for everyone. We are all charged back up in different ways depending on our personalities. Nonetheless, we all need to be charged up to tackle what’s before us. Even as a runner, I’ve seen first hand what…

  • Ode To The Night…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, here it is almost 11 at night and I’m wide awake, well sort of. I really should have been getting ready for bed an hour ago. When you become a night owl it sure is hard to change. Well let’s recap some of the week a little. I’ve had some interesting conversations this week. I have to say God has really been speaking to me this week, of course He tends to do that when you’re diving in the Word. Also He has been bring about opportunities for me that I just didn’t think were out there. I’ll be joining a group going through Life Shapes on Sundays, tomorrow I’ll be heading to Fargo for a get together at Holly Hanson’s, not sure who…

    Devotions for Sacred Parenting #25: Stop Judging and Start Loving

    ByTim Nolte
    “The sinful, selfish side of us truly wants and sometimes even expects a “perfect” child, but God doesn’t grant us “perfect” children in this fallen world—and even if he did, we imperfect parents would soon mess them up.” – Devotions for Sacred Parenting by Gary L. Thomas I’m pretty sure I’m not alone with finding myself in a situation with my kids where I’ve thought to myself “why can’t my kids just behave? What’s wrong with them?”. The second question is normally followed up with the fact that my daughter is special needs, and that’s the “problem”. However, as I continue to learn God is in the business of changing lives, and he’s sure working to change me. Every day I see areas that I…

    When The Well Runs Dry…

    ByTim Nolte
    That title actually has a couple of meaning this morning. As I drove myself to work this morning it kind of hit how spiritually dry I feel today. This comes from the lack of reading and morning quite time I’ve had for most of the week. Oh how I long for those days of having a couple hours before I head off to work to enjoy the morning and spend some time in the word. And to the times I had to read a chapter in a good book before I drifted off to sleep. These are things I’m really hoping to get back in my routine. It’s basically come to light that I am a total creature of habit/routine. Once I can get into…
