I struggled so long for answers
seeking to hear Your voice,
Afraid I strayed away too long
but that was of my choice.
You said You'd never leave me
I know for sure that's true,
Always right here with me
is the Almighty and Wonderful You.
In my darkest hours
I found comfort in speaking Your name,
I bowed my head ruefully
for I was replete with shame.
I served You once, but walked away
foolishly leaving You behind,
Joining a world of wickedness
don't know what I thought I'd find.
You, oh Lord, stayed with me
although I didn't seem to care,
Because I was imbued in sin
I didn't notice You there.
Then one day, when I was alone
the Holy Spirit drew me near,
Could I be forgiven once again
or would I live my life in fear?
I read Your word, prayed many prayers
desperately seeking Your face,
I couldn't feel Your Spirit Lord
was I forever without Your grace?
I trusted You, I walked in faith
and found You waiting there,
You never left me, I was the one
who forgot and didn't care.
With all my heart I cried to You
"Forgive me for what I've done!"
And in that moment, then and there
the battle had been won.
The Blood of Christ cleansed all my sins
they're forgotten, every one,
I am the righteousness of God
through Jesus Christ the Son.
