Tears in my eyes
My mind races with regret
Making mistakes every day
How much worse can it get?
Rolling around with despair
Feeling dirty and worthless
Life has to be more than this
I feel rage from all of the stress.
Something deep and true within me
Begins to beg for something bigger
Could there be something out there
That could possibly love this loser?
Then though all of the pain
All of the guilt and all of the fears
Shines a glimmer of hope
It’s Something that wipes away my tears.
Suddenly I know, through this shadow of affliction
That The Creator of the universe
Has graciously given me all of His attention
He gently whispers to my soul
That He loves me more than I can imagine
Clarity has instantly become a reality
The possibility of true hope is within sight
My God, You really DO love me
I’ve been so blinded every day
What do I have to do for You?
How could I possibly repay?
Then again a gentle whisper
Comforts me with absolute truth
He says He wants nothing from me
Everything He’s given me is free.
Freely given love, freely given hope
Freely given every wonderful thing
This light inside the dark tunnel
Actually gives me confidence to cope.
I realize that what He said
Isn’t that I’ll be trouble free
But I now have a place for shelter
A sure place to rest my head.
