It was the Lords Love that first sought me in my darkest places.
While it was my cold fear that kept me moving away from him.
It was his gift of Grace that held forth the warm light of safety.
And yet it was guilt and shame that kept my eyes tightly closed.
There was the hushed voice of the Holy Spirit that called my name.
But it was my stubborn heart that held hands hand's over my ears.
With patience, my saviour comforted me and redeemed my soul.
And with gratefulness I surrender to his tender mercies.
