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

He never lets me drown When it feels like my heart and soul, My story, might just burn down, His mercy fills me up, makes me whole, So I can see His crown – His love is all around. He never lets me sink Into the web of my defeat, My story, written with His ink, He pens each pulse, each heartbeat, So I can see my sins start to shrink. He never lets me fall, Overcome by the world, so dark, My story, though not as amazing a call, His grace always lights up a spark, So I can see His wonder – His writing on the wall. He never lets me crash, Even though I sometimes feel downcast, My story, sometimes calls me white trash, He rewrites me, despite the worst in my past, So I can see – His love changes me, in a flash. He never lets me doubt, Though my heart sometimes fears, My story, it is filled with times I’ve burned out, His light restores me, wiping away my tears, So I can see the song He is writing, so devout. He never lets me run away, While I want to go, He says I must stay, My story, it is one where I’ll always pray, His love can be felt, be it night or day, So I can see that He will never lead me astray. He never lets me disappoint, When I feel lost, He gives me courage, My story, I know He will anoint, His music, it will always encourage, So I can see the way to my turning point. He never lets me wane, When I feel weak, He is my strength, My story, it’s filled with pain, His redemption goes to any length, So I can see sunshine through the rain. He never lets me elude, When I want to hide, He will provide, My story, it reminds me that I’m pursued, His spirit chose me, despite my pride, So I can see and my heart is filled with gratitude!
