Grateful

My past, well, it wasn't always so bright
But you gave me the strength to continue to fight
We talked for hours as you revealed yourself to me
All the while encouraging me to be free

But I had been bound for a very long time
Freedom you see, for me it was extremely hard to find
My mind was so cloudy, I was accustom to pain
I made some bad decisions, yes, I live in shame

Life had dealt me some horrible blows
I no longer wanted to live and I had no hope for tomorrow
But you were with me every step of the way
Remember the times, I didn't wanna here nothing you had to say

I wasn't even upset with you
I simply believed I was unworthy so I withdrew
I didn't understand how you could love me
With all of my flaws and stains, simply put I felt filthy and ashamed

You Abba Yah continued to pursue
Knowing all along, I was smitten with you
One day you drew me into your presence again
I found myself sobbing, truly making amends

Your love was so strong, your glory overshadowed me
My hands lifted up and I became your detainee
It was an honor once again to be called your name
My life was changed, I was no longer the same

Never again will I leave your side
Yahshua I'm yours, I will always be your bride
