A Love as Yours

Dying
My will to carry on was dying
Sin had left its 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 hands
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

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 hands
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
