Love that would reach
past my deepest despair
Love that would see past
the prodigal I have become
Love that looked past
my sin and mistakes
To what I could become
He drew me in
when I wanted to run
He drew me in
when I clung to my past
He drew me in
He wouldn’t let go
I have gone too far,
or so I believed
No one took the time
to tell me it’s a lie
For years I sunk
deeper into sin
Further and further
I drifted from His light
Past hopelessness
Past broken dreams
Shame and guilt like shadows,
leading me further away
from the Light
Torturing me with the
ghosts of my past
Torturing me by the choices
I chose to make
Alone with no way of escape
I sunk deeper
I chose to believe the enemies lies
He lost his grip on me
The day Love got a hold of me
He lured me in
Captured me
Till I didn’t want to break free
He set me on a path
Of knowing Him
Amidst the daily battles I fight
Amidst the enemy pleading his plight
I have to discern whose voice
will be louder
If I want to grow
If I want to win
If I want to meet
one day with my King
Even when my fears want to win
When the enemy paints pictures
of losing the battle
He invites me to run
on waves with Him
Deeper and deeper we go
Till I surrender and let faith win
Past my fears that have kept me
in chains for years
Past my shame that told me
I am worthless
Past my pain that kept me in bondage for years
So that only His will, will be done in my life
He loves His son’s and daughter’s
A love that could never be compared
by the good we have done
He will go down the gutter to
be One with us
Break every barrier
Erasing whatever keeps us
from experiencing His heart
Nothing compares when we find Him
He is the light on my path
The air that I breath
The love of my life
My everything
