Lying to bed,
Bringing this pain.
Thoughts in my head,
Drive me insane.

Do the right thing.
Don't mind the lies.
Trouble it'll bring,
Sorrow and cries.

Let go of the past,
Forget its why's.
Problems won't last.
Eye on the price.

Focus and win.
Never give up.
Destroy that sin,
–addictions stop.

I say, "I am unworthy."
Grieving for what this careless heart has done.
I cry, "This can't be.
Right now I should've been gone."

I mourned like a dying criminal.
I'm trapped in my wretched past.
Looking forward to life's terminal,
I'm living, waiting for my soul to rust.

Bound in these iron chains,
I'm a wild lion wanting to break loose.
I looked up and voiced my pains
and ask, "God, if You're real, come close."

"God, I beg Your pardon."
I felt as if arms were covering me.
"Sinner you're forgiven."
"Sinner now you're free."

Like the wind that blows softly
and makes the leaves quiver,
is Your love as it gently caresses me,
Father this will last forever.

*****, unworthy, filthy, guilty,
Soul hopelessly weary.
Love met the sinner,
And the sinner was you and me.

My failures, they're numerous.
My sins, outrageous.
Even when I ran away,
To me, Your love still made its way.

To Your word, I turned a deaf ear.
In obeying Your commands, I peered.
You called me out to this mess I'm in.
I moved away and chose to follow sin.

You woke me up with a nudge.
Most of the time, I quickly make a dodge.
I kept ignoring all You say,
still You never stayed away.

You gently called my name.
Your love remained the same.
In my dirtiness and disobedience,
You gave me another second chance.

You erased my ever dying days.
I'm drowning in Your all-sufficient grace.
Even when I ran away,
With Your arms wide open,
You waited for me, embraced me,
and welcomed me again with no delay.

You gave your life for me
You gave all that I need
What could I ever long for?
You're everything.

You hear all that I say
You love me more and more each day.
What could I ever long for?
You're everything.

You're my strength
You're my comfort
You're my hope when all is lost

You're my refuge
You're my peace
My ever present help in need

You picked me up when I am down.
You put your arms around me
I couldn't ask for more.
You're everything.

Nothing in this world could satisfy
You alone are my heart's desire.
What could I be ever longing for?
When I have you.

Oh grace, oh that grace.
I am a sinner, He is my Savior.
I should die but He took my place.
I was saved, He was tortured.
Oh grace, oh that grace.

Oh grace, oh that grace.
Bruised and broken,
tears and blood on His face,
He suffered all the pain.
Oh grace, oh that grace.

Oh grace, oh that grace.
The King of kings was hung and nailed
on that cross, for my case
my Holy God was mocked and jeered
Oh grace, oh that grace.

Oh grace, oh that grace.
I once was lost,
followed my own ways.
and now I am found
Oh grace, oh that grace.

Oh grace, oh that grace.
I don't deserve all of these
The love, the joy,
and the forgiveness,
All He did and all He went through.
It was grace.
Oh my saving grace, oh that amazing grace.

I found myself looking for love
In the desperate time of my life
I thought I have everything
But there is something I need to have.

Affair after every affair
Chances after second chances,
From hearts in all innocence,
I never thought I was unfair.

Many lives have been involved
Countless plans retold
Many moments have been misspent
I thought, "around me, the world should revolve."

I found myself, in desperation,
hunting, demanding for love
I ended up in despair,
But there is a resolution.

My eyes were fully opened
The long journey of search,
The devastating, hearts-wrecking pursuit,
has finally come to an end.

I found genuine LOVE,
—LOVE that never remembered my past
—LOVE that patiently waited by my side
—LOVE the world has never got to offer
—LOVE I merely do not deserve
—LOVE so high, so deep, so wide
—LOVE that fully satisfies
—LOVE that never thought about self
—LOVE so unconditional

LOVE died, LOVE entombed, LOVE rose
Where would I be right now
if I have kept scouring the world for "love"
Where would I be right now
if love had not found me
Where would I be right now?

— The End —
