written by Daniel Piper
Jesus died a death I can’t even fathom.
Arms stretched out to be nailed and he still closed the chasm.
My sins left me alone and so far from the Father.
No matter what I do, shame is the outcome of trying harder.
I give up and pray Jesus hears my cry.
I’ve come to end of myself; there’s nothing more I can try.
I’m convinced the straight and narrow begins,
after a long treacherous road dead ends.
But who am I to step onto the pathway of the holy one?
When I look back and see all the damage and carnage that I’ve done.
Am I really worthy to step into a love that I’ve never known?
When I read the scriptures, it says the Father and the Son desire to make me their home!
But how can this be that someone like me is the dwelling place of the Almighty?
This amazing grace just gets sweeter the more I ponder the cross.
The love of God is the only light that awakens the lost.
Who am I outside of Jesus, the cross and His resurrection?
I’m scared to know!
That’s why I’m running in HIs direction.
