The Land of the Lost

As far away as I was you lead me back home
Teaching me how to pray even as I did roam
Never leaving my side always calling my name
Though I didn't abide and was filled with shame

But You Took that blame all of it You took away
Holy, Holy, Holy is Your Name teach us to Pray
Open up all of our eyes as it becoming so late
With the devils lies society can so easily equate

With all Your Light Shone everything far and near
It's just in there tone that for them I begin to fear
No one enters but through all Your Grace completed
Lord if they only knew next to the Father Your Seated

Lord if they only knew not just the mashing of teeth
Their sins coming due as they lay that funeral wreath
But of Your Love and Grace and Your abundant Mercy
They can't see it in this place, please Lord help them see

Yes, it's like if they only know. God is so loving and forgiving. If they only knew. God Bless.
