Humbled

Sitting in my church this morning
Feeling just so lost today
Way in the back with my head down
I started to weep and pray

I said I'm just not worthy enough to be here
After all you've done for me
But this is the only place I feel at peace
Where I feel like I am free

Just let me be in your presence for this hour
Let your spirit fill my troubled heart
I promise I will sit quietly
Until your message you impart     

I never came here to please the pastor
Just so I was noticed in the pew
I'm only here because I feel so lost
I just want to be close to you

And then I felt the cleansing flood
Wash over my tattered soul
He touched me though I wasn't worthy
He touched me and made me whole.
