When no one did
You searched for me
When I was lost
You wooed me in
When I wasn’t even aware of You
What God is this that would follow us to the ends of the earth?
What God is this that never gives
up on us?
What God is this that fights for us when we don’t even know?
His love is relentless
It follows us into the darkest
of places
It follows us through the valley
of death
It follows us till we have reached
the end
Finds it way through every crack
in our heart
Found its way to my dark soul
See behind the masks I chop
and change
The picturized smile I portray
He doesn’t give up, even when I reject His love
He doesn’t give up, even when I tell Him to
He pursue me relentless
Shows me that I am worthy
Till I run into His arms of love
His love mixed with my tears of shame and guilt
Cleanse my heart
Uproot my fears
Heal my scars
Erase my shame
Transform my life
Till all I can see is His love
flowing from the cross to me
A wretch
A sinner
Turned into a son and a daughter
I never knew a love so deep existed
It leaves me breathless
hungry for more
It is deeper then my loudest sin
Higher then my silent shame
Wider then my desperate fears
I am lost in it
Forever one with it
I will never get enough of it!
