That Once Was Me
Are you struggling? Are you hurting?
Tossed about on a wild sea?
Is it hard to face each day?
Just turn and take a look at me.
That once was me, I’ve been there too
No place was harder to be
That sinking in that awful mud
That would not let me free
But now, no more
I’ve been refined in the fire
My God, in His love
Pulled me out of the mire
He set my feet on the rock,
I shall not be moved
He’s establishing my steps
And He’ll establish yours too
Are you hurting? Are you aching?
Just look at the One who died for you
The One with mercy never ceasing
Who loves and never forsakes you
Turn your face to your Maker above
He suffered too, and knows your needs
Just wait, just hope, a little while
And He, in His love, will set you free
His love is constant joy and strength
His love is our only hope
And though life is sometimes so harsh and bleak
His love is how we cope
Oh, how much brighter the world seems
After you’ve been in the dark!
Just hold onto hope, whatever glimmer you have
And see what God does with that spark
