Sometimes God can really hit you upside the head to make you realize all you've turned into...and not in a good way. Then you have a choice...to change, to become better, or to continue on in the way you've known. That's what standing on the edge is all about. For me though, there was no choice...because there was no way I was going to allow myself to remain a person I despised one moment longer.
I’m standing on the edge
I’m weak and I know it
I’m not giving up, I’m not giving up
Give me one more chance to breathe
Motion ceases on the outside
I want to see miracles
I’m standing on the edge

Of all I used to be and all that waits
Looking at all my excuses, all my wrongs
Sifting through all my tries, they appear all lies
I’m not who I thought I was
I want that person gone
I can admit I failed and watch things fall apart
I can’t do this alone, all on my own
I can’t do this alone, I can’t do this alone
Only You can help me, only You can erase me
Drive the nails into my hands,
Maybe then I’ll bleed and the ugliness will leave
And I can simply be
I’m not giving up on me
Give me one more hope to believe
Give me the gifts I once threw away
Give me a heart overflowing of You today
Change me, flow through me, fill me
And never let me return to that emptiness again
Motion increases on the inside
I spin and watch the black disappear
Replaced with truth so clear
I’m seeing one right inside the secrets of my heart
I’m seeing another in the mouth these words form
I’m seeing truth in a mind that knows right and wrong
I’m seeing changes that couldn’t have come from me
It’s these mysteries that help me believe
Of all I can be, of all I am so far
I’m standing on the edge
And I can see into this canyon
The dark unknown at the bottom
Doesn’t scare me so much anymore
Because I’m not falling
I’m being carried on Spirit’s wings
And Your wondrous glory calls me to faith
Doubts may come and doubts may go
But I now believe in the truth unknown.
