From the recording Shine On
A favorite of mine that came from a jam with my drummer friend, Chris Thompson(who played all of the drums on the album). Sometimes I wonder how long does it take for it to sink in that we do not have to do anything to earn the love of God? It's hard for us to realize HIS perfect love. He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleans us from all unrighteousness! Lindsay co-wrote the lyrics with me!
Lyrics
Verse 1
Whispers of fear close in with ever tear
Can YOU reach this distant heart?
Longing for the peace I find when YOU are near;
Sometimes I feel a fallen world apart
Pre Chorus
LORD, lead me from this life of heartache
To a love the same today and yesterday
YOU heal the sorrow of all my mistakes
LORD let YOUR light shine through me always
Chorus
I won't forget, LORD, how YOU have led me
YOUR promised mercy, how it sets me free
YOUR perfect LOVE has cast away my sin
Oh, this freedom, is it sinking in?
Verse 2
Drifting without purpose, YOU loved me even then
Left the 99 to find just one
Like a wilted flower made to bloom again
Carried from darkness to the Glory of the SON
Bridge
Sometimes the silence, it can be crushing
Then YOU tell me I'm free, free to breathe
Sometimes these trials, LORD, they leave me weak
Then YOU speak life into me
