I had an ache in my heart

The mornings always had a tearful start

I felt so empty inside

But with a mask my hurt I would hide

 

I would go through a day of acting

But when I got home my hurt began attacking

I would try to these things fight

But at the end of my tunnel there was no light

 

I had given up hope

And I could just barely cope

I greatly hungered for peace

And wanted desperately for my hurt to cease

 

As I came home one day and sat down in a chair

The hurt overcame me with my being's last tear

I went outside and looked up at the sky

Then from the depths of my soul I asked why

 

Tears filled my eyes as I sank to the ground

And at that moment by grace I was found

It wrapped its arms around me with love

I knew in my heart that God had sent it from above

 

For the first time I took a peaceful breath

And with joy I finally wept

I never thought I'd live to see

The day that grace would find me
