As I was thinking just the other day
This life is hard there must be another way
I ran into desert and away from the living water I was thirsty, a
nd I chose to try to fill my heart with things that wouldn’t last

So as I enter into your presence
I see my Father reaching out his arms
You’re telling me to come, for I am your child
I can’t see the way because I have been blinded for so long

I am a child of the King of Kings
Above all created things
I stand to worship you
Within your embrace I feel saving grace

I look in the mirror, that only shows a glimpse
I try to take into my mind another picture perfect ending
I know that I’m your child, and I know you see me as not defiled
But the love I have for you, just makes me go wild

I look around chasing after things that won’t satisfy
I sometimes forget to express my emotions
I have so many things screaming there is no God
Then I remember my savior

The love of my life
The grace in my soul
The bride of my Lord
The Church to behold

I long to return to the love of my life
I long to forget my sins when I confess
The images etched in my mind are nothing
Compared to the wounds on your hands for me

There have been times though it hurts to admit
My heart has been torn between this world and you
How can I say stuff and say I am sorry
When watching your life sacrificed on Calvary
