You specialize in mending
and restoring hearts
Your love searches for the broken
The downtrodden
The wounded ones
Rejoicing over one lost soul
You pick us up
You clean us up
You turn our hearts back
to Yours
You search the gutters
The backstreets
The places no one
chooses to go
Your love stronger
than the powers of darkness
Lure every heart
No matter how dark they
have become
Into Your marvellous light
The wayward ones
The prodigals
The misfits
The ones beyond repair
You don’t care
Your love can do the impossible
Shine through the darkest
heart
You use our pasts
You use our pain
You use what the enemy
meant for our harm
To create the most beautiful
tapestries and work of art
In lives that were once consumed
by Darkness
Deep processes You put
Your set apart ones through
We huff and puff
We crawl and cry
We sometimes even dare
ask why?
Our pain turned into armour
Blinding the enemy as we
go higher
Our battle scars we wear
with honour
A reminder of our faithful Father
We reflect Papa’s heart in
all we do
We love Him more than life!
You marked us with
Your love
We are set apart by grace
Our lives a living sacrifice
To accomplish every dream
Papa has for us
You call us into Your
inner chambers
Where few chose to tread
For too long we were kept
in dungeons
Chained to painful pasts
The enemy held us hostage
He knew how courageous
we would be
When fear has lost its grip!
Too late, we know our worth!!
Death could not hold the One we
choose to adore!!
Death has lost his hold
on us!!
Emptied out
Dead to self
We chose to lay down
our lives!!
Love has won our hearts!
All for the Cause of Christ!!
