A Wanderer's Cry

A Wanderer's Cry From afar, I've journeyed, lost and alone Here i am again back in the same place so many times My heart heavy with shame down on my knees, my soul overthrown Countless times I've fallen, strayed from the way Yet, Your forgiveness, Lord, always finds its stay I've stumbled, I've risen, only to fall again My regrets, a river, ever-flowing in pain But still, Your mercy, like morning dew Refreshes my soul, anew Your patience, a wonder, beyond human grasp A love that endures, through every stumbling pass When darkness enveloped me, Your light shone bright Guiding me back, to the path of righteousness and light Though I've failed, time and again Your grace, a lifeline, pulls me from the pain You lift me up, on feeble knees And set my feet, on stable ground, at ease From the depths of my soul, I cry out to You A grateful heart, for mercy anew For every mistake, every misstep and fall You've been my refuge, my Savior, through it all Your love, a flame, that burns like a fire Purifying my heart, my soul's greatest desire To stand before You, faultless and true A miracle of grace, born anew I come from far, with scars and with shame Yet, You embrace me, with an endless claim Of forgiveness, of love that never fades A Father's heart, that forever stays Still, You stand me on my feet A new creation, in Your mercy's sweet retreat Where regrets fade, and hope begins In Your presence, my heart finds its wins.
