I'm so glad that you still know my name
Even though darkness surrounded me you still remain the same
You never left my side you were always there
And when I was ready to give up it helped to know you still cared
Even when I fell into a state of deep despair
With no sense of direction it was you who saw my tears
I felt your arms wrap around me and assured me it would be ok
And one day soon I will be rid of the dark days
Lord I feel like I don't deserve your love sometimes
Can you keep reminding me I'm still your child Time after Time
It was you I repent of to with a sincere heart
And you directed me to tell the truth to make a fresh start
Everything had to come out and be explained clearly
Not only for everyone else but also for me to take accountability
With each truth spoken a burden released
Your loving kindness forever increased
My spirit is mending my future is bright
Bathed in your mercy and filled with your light
For this new beginning my heart sings your praise
Through all of my moments in all of my days
Your grace is sufficient your promises are true
I'll do my best to walk in your footsteps forever with you
If I ever slip and fall I promise to get back up
No longer in the Mire and clay because of you I'm unstuck
