I know you are hurting,
hiding with your shame and sadness.
I know you are coming apart,
breaking under the weight of this life.
I know you are about to give up,
drowning beneath the pain and despair.
But hear now, dear one -
Lift up your face, lift up your eyes.
Lift up your soul, lift up your heart.
There is mercy greater than your sin and shame.
There is grace greater than any of your mistakes.
There is hope, there is rest.
So come as you are, broken and hopeless.
Come as you are, fragile and fractured.
Come find mercy and grace,
come find love greater than anything you are.
hiding with your shame and sadness.
I know you are coming apart,

I know you are about to give up,
drowning beneath the pain and despair.
But hear now, dear one -
Lift up your face, lift up your eyes.
Lift up your soul, lift up your heart.
There is mercy greater than your sin and shame.
There is grace greater than any of your mistakes.
There is hope, there is rest.
So come as you are, broken and hopeless.
Come as you are, fragile and fractured.
Come find mercy and grace,
come find love greater than anything you are.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy." (Psalm 103:2-4,8)
