The Love of God

There once was a time where I swallowed pills to die

I think this was the very at that caught God's eye

He picked me up and led me away, from the things that caused me to go astray

As I awoke from my seemingly deep slumber

I looked around, tear filled eyes, in awe and wonder

at the amazing grace that saved a wretch like me

That took me up and restored me to the things I couldn't see

He restored my faith beyond my imagination 

Watched over me through trials and tribulation

Oh what amazing grace that saved me from

the things that I have once done

And when I felt like I could no longer move on in this life

He held my hand, told me to follow him, and leave my strife

What manner of man is this that loved me even when he knew

that the burden in my heart constantly grew

I never knew I was so undeserving 

Of my Lord's love and yearning

As the years have passed and I have grown

My eyes have been opened to many things that I should have known
