You came in to a world that chose to ignore you and despise
A world choosing self, believing lies, and refusing to give you even a tithe
Yet you looked right through us and saw our brokenness, and we saw compassion in your eyes.
You left it all and came when we did not deserve
We fought over worldly status, but you abandoned your throne and came to serve
I don’t deserve your service, but somehow still I have the nerve to live a life of self-service
You claimed to be the I AM and then,
You walked on water, went to hell and came back again
I was alone in the desert of night, wasting away, thirst cutting my soul like a knife
You came to me, my light, my living water, bringing me out of death to life.
I aimed to follow you; yet my intentions were thin, full of meaningless attempts to cover up my sin
I heard you calling out to me, telling me of hope from above
And I again turned from you, hiding among the rocks of despair, but still hungry, desperate, and craving for your love.
You came to me, like a dove from heaven, saying you were the door and the only way in.
You took my shame, took my pain, took my sinful name-replaced it with your name, and said I am enough.
You Resuscitated me. Rejuvenated me. I’m Rescued and Resurrected. You brought me back to life. You are the only way, the only truth, and the true meaning to life.
