Rain falls cold on folded hands,
a broken soul kneels down to pray..
crying out "Forgive me Father God,
I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.."
so often succumbing, falling short,
I've messed up, gone far astray...
tired of sinning, of feeling lost,
realizing that these evil deeds
sent Jesus to the bloody cross..
the very thought, it tortures me,
and overwhelmed by the great cost
the great God of heaven chose to pay,
to rescue me from eternal misery -
I fall face down to the ground,
whispering, "Thank you Lord..."
unable to find words to express
the joy, the unbelieveable relief
that I'm set free of hopelessness...
no longer a slave to the shadows -
from now to forever, a child of light..
I breathe in deep a breathful of peace,
as slowly from my knees I rise...
