So many years I heard it told |
|
The story of compassion |
|
A prodigal son who left the fold |
|
And found no satisfaction |
|
On my knees, Lord, I cried out to You |
|
"I'm so alone |
|
But if there's room in Your house for one more |
|
I'm ready to come back home" |
|
I know there is a place |
|
Where arms of compassion welcome me home |
|
Sweet mercy falls like rain |
|
I know there's a place called grace |
|
So many days I've trusted grace |
|
Yet I have to wonder |
|
How many times my human strength |
|
Has kept me from surrender |
|
The more I learn just to lean on the cross |
|
The more I see |
|
When I fall, I will fall to the place |
|
Where mercy reaches me |
|
If it seems that my courage is strong |
|
There's just one reason |
|
He's my rock when my faith is all gone |
|
He holds me in His arms |
|
Gives me strength to carry on |
