Unforgiving Love

January 12, 2014

The sun burns bright on the hill tonight

Not a breath to be taken

This place of isolation

And it looks like there's no escape.

The air is freezing like my broken heart inside

I tried to keep it in, Lord knows I tried

Can't let them in, can't let them see

Be the good girl I need to be

Conceal don't feel, they can't know

Well now they know.

Let it go, let it go

I can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

I don't care what anyone thinks

Let this storm rage on, it never bothered me anyway.

So how come no one protected, the little girl that the world rejected?

Where can I go?

I can't go back, I can't save the past

Please take me far away

Somewhere they can't hurt me.

Jesus I can't see you, but Lord I know I need you

Help me to start a new life

I used to be that future burning bright

Now I am just another sleepless night.

I hide all this hurt behind this wall

Please don't let it hurt me anymore

For so long I thought you abandoned me

But really I abandoned you.

You began a good work in me

Please continue to see me through

I felt so alone and unworthy

But only in your arms is my shame moved by mercy.

So here I stand a child undeserving

Lord let my life be moved by mercy.
