When I think of all the things I’ve done,
The pain I’ve caused, the fears that have won…
I’m left in awe of the love He’s shown,
He’s never left me lonely and my love for Him has grown.
When I think of the ways I’ve lived in the shadows,
I remember – as the sun climbed higher, He arose,
Pouring out life on those souls who believe He lives,
Yes. He went to a cross to end the fear our enemy contrives.
When I think of the light He whispered into my soul,
Seems every doubt’s been brought under His control.
While selfish me sought a way to avoid carrying my cross,
His love remembers and believes, even though I’m at a loss.
When I think of the many ways that I’ve let Him down,
I feel so very blessed because He won’t let me drown.
Despite my many flaws and failures, sin in darkest black,
With Him, I have a chance, because He’ll take me back.
When I think of how much I’ve failed Him,
My thoughts, profound, can only see the grim,
But, because He is love, my Savior,
He promises mercy, forgiving my worst behavior.
When I think of the many times I’ve ignored His word,
I’m amazed, every time I’ve prayed – He still heard,
And, when I least expect His blessings to flow into my heart,
There is perfect assurance that His love will never depart.
When I think of how He died, forsaken by God and man,
And, how He could have easily rejected the Master’s plan,
I feel like the miracle of love was shown with His death,
And, no amount of mourning would have restored His breath.
When I think of Easter and what it means to believers,
We’re not just followers – we’re the receivers,
Who know that love, this love, is more than we can contain.
It means the difference in life and death, - with everything to gain…
Love, true love, poured out in blameless blood,
through a life changing flood…
overflowing with faith, hope and grace,
rushing with forgiveness that nothing can ever erase.
In the flow of His sweet love,
There is wonder from above,
Sent on angel’s wings,
Trembling with peace that quietly sings…
Wherever He is, that is where my soul agrees,
There is where I’ll forever be at ease.
There is where I’ll see the beautiful peace,
- from meeting the One whose love will never cease!
When I think of me, I can only see the doubts,
But because He is who He is, He made a way out.
Because He is the King of Kings,
Someday I’ll fly on perfect wings!
