Dec 2019
I left my heart the April when I met you
Just a Friday evening when I finally came to
I'd known your voice all those years
Drowned them out with my fear
And then somehow your word broke through

Like a **** in the crack in the street
I shouldn't be here but your voice swept over me
You told me the things that I feared
Things my heart bloomed to hear
And in that moment my soul found peace

It's a miracle that I'm even here
That your love opened my closed ears
After all of this time
The cross still shines so clear
Like the day your love first drew me near

Then that first December with you came like a flood
I saw my family in tears and tasted blood
My heart was hardened by fear
But then your love flowed in here
And forgiveness rose up from the mud

It's a miracle that I'm even here
That your love opened my closed ears
After all of this time
The cross still shines so clear
Like the day your love first drew me near

It seemed like just another Sunday in May
But then your spirit came in like autumn rain
Out of season without reason
And suddenly I was a son
Or realized what I was all along

It's a miracle that I'm even here
That your love opened my closed ears
After all of this time
The cross still shines so clear
Like the day your love first drew me near

Though the months and days keep flowing past
Looking back I guess I thought this phase would pass
But Jesus you never end
When my faith dies you rise again
And I know are always my forever friend

It's a miracle that I'm even here
That your love opened my closed ears
After all of this time
The cross still shines so clear
Like the day your love first drew me near
Like every day when you draw me near
Like today cause I know you're right here.
