Love As Yours

Dying, My will to carry on was dying
Sin had left it's brand upon my life
I was only a shadow of what I could be
Hurting, so many days I spent alone
Just hurting
I truly doubted that God was alive
That's when the light of mercy was revealed to me

Then you caressed my shattered world
Within your hand
And healed my wounded spirit
So that I could stand
For the first time
I know what life is for
And I wonder, Yes I wonder
How I wonder, why I ran from
A love as your's

Emptiness, so common was the sense of emptiness
My greatest efforts just to break away
Fell short of every goal
Nothing was enough
Loneliness, my old familiar friend loneliness
I had not anything left but to pray
And in my darkest hour
All heaven opened up

Then you caressed my shattered world
Within your hand
And healed my wounded spirit
So that I could stand
For the first time
I know what life is for
And I wonder, Yes I wonder
How I wonder, why I ran from
A love as yours
