I swore I'd never change myself just to be loved
but rather wait for one to love the pieces of the peaceless heart
that I'd neglected and let crumble into dust
Then there was you;
smiling like a light among the wailing storm
Giving strength, and grace, and comfort I'd not known
Though I felt safer in hiding
I placed my defenses behind me
and walked straight into the light of the unknown
I assumed that peace would find me
when a last breath was denied me;
but not here on earth, alive and well with you
Though I still look like what I've been through
it seems never to effect you seeing me as something better than I do
Who am I; but a man so undeserving of such offered grace?
More inclined to shun redemption than be saved
You said,
"Allow whoever is blameless here to cast their stones at you
You'll find you're safe here, Child - we all have faltered too"
Through a worn, weathered exterior falsely projecting might
You said each crack within the darkness helped reveal the inner light
Everyone who claims their brokenness can be made whole in time
and your present self can be someone you were
Through a worn, weathered exterior falsely projecting might
You said each crack within the darkness helped reveal the inner light
Everyone who claims their brokenness can be made whole in time
and your present self can be someone you were
Rather than condemn my faithlessness you offered faith in life
and brought light into the darkness that I'd known
When I should have been damned for faithlessness
you brought my faith to life
and led me straight into the light of the unknown
You showed grace beyond all kinds I’d ever known
You brought light into the blackness I called home
You led me straight into the light of the unknown
You showed grace beyond all kinds I’d ever known
You brought light into the blackness I called home
You led me straight into the light of the unknown
