I ponder love as You speak through song
Amid countless times I get it wrong
Saving all of myself to offer You
Learning only forgiveness, kindness, truth.
You seek the face I mean to hide
And know the features and all the lines
You recall not the shamefulness found in this life
And suffered to take away plagues of the mind.
All those who come to tell the great lies
Your hand in mine still coincides
No fear, as it was driven away
No sorrow for my past mistakes.
My own penned words cannot profess
My delight in my own loneliness
For You’re radiant warmth reminds me still
The promise of my all wounds to heal.
The chill of the sea will soon be gone
Safe passage then to take us home
To be new, to be free, to be lovely and whole
O, great victory to come!
You have rescued our souls!
