You took
my grief
my heartache
my sorrows
my despair
my mourning
my broken heart
and burned it
until it was all
ashes
and You took the
crown of thorns that
i wore and
placed on my head
a crown of beauty.

the voices of the past
make their way into my head
and they whisper to me
all the things that i have done
and remind me of who i once was
they remind me of when
i broke your heart
and i cry
because i don't deserve You
but You embrace me
and tell me that
You don't care about
who i was or what i did
You just care about
my heart
and your voice, your light
drowns out
the darkness of the voices
of the past

here i am,
unclean,
unworthy,
a sinner,
broken,
an alabaster jar.
i lay this broken heart
at your feet.
i lay down every thing
i have
and i kiss your feet
and i can't speak,
i can only cry
because You saw
this wretched heart
and You gave all You
had for me and i have
nothing so
take me.

may i never get enough of You
may i never stop wanting You
may i never stop knowing You
may i never stop loving You
may You always inspire me
may You always make me wonder
may You always be my desire
may You always be enough.

You made grace rain
and hope bloomed
in this heart
in this soul
You are making me new.

i left your side and
i searched for something more
something bigger than You
and all i found was emptiness
and i stopped loving You
and i searched for something else to love
but i couldn't find it
and in my aimless wandering,
in my idiotic search for something other than You
i forgot You
and it was such a long time before
i decided to come back and return home
and it was such a long distance that i put
between You and me
and not for a moment
did You
leave me
stop loving me
forget me
You never changed

sing over me
and tell me that i am loved
sing over me
and tell me that You're here with me
sing over me
because i can no longer sing on my own
because i need to feel You
because this emptiness is filling up my heart
sing over me
and tell me that i am forgiven
sing over me
and tell me that You will never leave me
sing over me
because i can't feel you anymore
because i have strayed too far away
because i have failed
sing over me
until i can sing with You again
