Head pounding, I'm drowning,
in my own despair
Once lost now I am found
Who can I compare?
To the reason my heart beats
and my song becomes joyous,
To the One King
to whom I can lean
On for my healing
I can't beat this feeling
but sometimes my shame weighs
So heavy on my chest that
I can't remember to breathe
Your name
even though You say
Call out
I feel dirty and worthless but
that's not what You said I am
When you knit me in my
mother's womb
Please save me from this tomb
I put myself in, to listen to
the enemy's lies
My eyes are fixated on the dark
corner in my room but You gave me a mark
of light and love so bright
that You call me to fight with You by my side
Like a lion in the night you storm into
my grave
Arms outstretched, gently saying my name
Beloved
You call me from the darkness, clearing my mind
despite breaking Your heart and pushing
away
away into the chains of the enemy
but the chains are not why you knit me
In my mother's womb
You saved me and continue to
Save me
Save me from my demise
I am perfect in Your eyes
washed clean by Your pure blood
spilling, dripping down Your body
for me to call out to You
oh Abba, Father
I am sorry
Let me run into Your arms, King of Kings
Lay me down in green pastures
Oh Master of my heart please
wash me in the river with Your loving hands
Made to embrace even the dirtiest of souls
my Father in Heaven
You have saved me time
and time again
And I will never understand why, beyond
the simple reason that you love me
more than the flowers that clothe the fields
more than the universe that yawned
Open at one breath from You
and rejoiced in its Creator's brilliance
The most talented artist says that I am
Wonderfully and perfectly made
my heart is dismayed
at the reckless love you have for me
Yet rejoicing at the sound of my name
on Your lips
like a blessing, not a curse
despite the tar staining my sin
but again You make me white as snow
for that I should go
right into Your arms where You
hold me and call my name
Beloved
and I am home with my kin
the enemies lies defenseless against
Your truth
timeless and constant
Your love and Word
envelopes me
and my soul thirsts for You
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water
You are my Abba, Father
and I ask that you remind me of
Your name time and time again
when I seem to forget, but I hope I
never do forget Your name
Your name
Is like the sun breaking the dark
and coming in roaring winds and
Gentle whispers
Calling me out and breaking my chains
to rejoice and persevere with You
because that is why you knit me together
in my mother's womb
I love You
Abba, Father
King of Kings
Lion
Master of my Heart
I love You.
