My heart was broken, held in chains

I couldn't see the end, the pieces were in pain

Bleeding out

Where could there be a way out?

What could free me from these chains?

The cross was close, but still so far away

I knew the story but it wasn't mine

How could I be worthy, with all my sin and shame.

Could Jesus still say; sweet child of mine?

In the end I had no choice, my life was heading

down the drain, unstoppable pain

His voice was strong, giving me strength

"I'm the truth, the light

come to me you'll never regret.

I took your sins, they are mine

you are white as snow

walk with me you are my child"

My life was pure, my life was more

Easy? no - not at all

But Jesus walks by my side

Sometimes he even carries me

How great is he!

He's the best of all
