As I lay awake at night staring at the ceiling/I imagine myself in your arms/but I can’t help but ask you/
why would you love me/in such a way to give your Son/you whisper me the answer/though I do not understand it/
you tell me it is because you love me/and even though I don’t comprehend it/you show me love anyway/
The look in your eye/tells me the reason why/you sent your son to die/because of your compassion/
your love, mercy and grace/God you show me love in ways/I don’t deserve/and you come through in situations/
I don’t look for you in/I am so grateful that you love me/just the way I am/
Your eyes have shown me compassion/your hands have shown me grace/your nailed pierced body has shown me love/
and I have been looking to other places/to find my worth and satisfaction/but you don’t love me any less/
I want to give you everything/without holding anything back/
Your mercy has consumed me/because I realize that I am nothing without you/Lord I want to be like you/
but I know each time I try/living life on my own/I cannot help myself/but I fall flat on my face/
because I am beginning to understand/what it means to be a child of the king/
