~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

If your heart aches, hungry, for the joy of grace,
If your soul seeps fear through the silent moments,
Between the falling tears…

Remember you are someone worthy and worthwhile.
You are so important to Jesus, the One who died on a cross,
So you and me, who were lost…
Could know the wonder of love that lasts, love eternal!

If your life needs fixing and you can’t find the tools…
To renovate and refurbish, repair the past, 
With the beautiful that comes to those who believe…
It is God’s love that makes each soul see…
Beyond the shadows, into the Son’s gentle grace,
Where love will mend every messy shame,
Each confusion and bitterness, all the worries,
All the doubts that cause the heart to feel…
Like it can never find the music of a love that is real.

It is there, amid the wonders of His love,
Where light rushes in to fall swiftly as the wind,
Kissing away the ancient sins, the darkest dread,
All the colors of shadows that might whisper doubt…
With a love that can only come from the One who has been…
Beyond beautiful, beyond great, beyond perfection.
He is the love, the light, the lasting peace that comes to those…
Who simply have faith and believe in His way,
Toward the hope that assures grace will forever sustain,
Grace from God’s Son will never grow old,
Never let you go – leave you out of control.
With this love from above, You have all that you will need…
To reach beyond the worst into the purest, sweetest love,
Where life shall become… a dream that God has spun…
From heavenly yarn, threads of joy and hope, threads of laughter,
Threads of miraculous light that abides through every night,
Threads of truth and faith, threads of His amazing grace!

Listen to your soul’s yearning, your heart’s burning…
Reach out to the love who is living, the love who is giving…
Grace that continues to bring hope of redemption, 
Hope that prevents hearts from ever feeling lonely,
Hope that restores souls so they’ll always know… love,
Love that is sure, beautiful and pure, love that brings truth…

Jesus is the certainty, the One souls can believe, the yarn…
That gossamer strands of light lets in, where faith in Him can become…
The miraculous blanket of life that only He could have sewn!
