God's Love
Beat, broken, defeated,
Those are just a few ways I could be described.
Saved, redeemed, protected,
Those are the reasons I am alive.
I am just a simple sinner
Who has been battered and bruised.
I have fallen short often,
Used others and been used,
But God looked at me
And saw potential in my flaws.
Although I still mess up,
God continues to see what He saw.
On days when I see no reason,
He is my reason for living life.
When I feel stuck and can't find it,
God is my love and my light.
For each time I mess up,
God's love for me seems to grow.
His love, grace and mercy
Measure more than I could ever know.
I am just a simple sinner
Who has been battered and bruised.
I still fall short often,
But God's love continues.
