Old and New

I don’t know what I’m doing, not even a little

I act like I have it all together but in reality I’m so brittle 

I am cracked and scarred and cut and bruised

I have been trampled on and abused

I’ve been kicked while I’ve been down

I have been the laughing stock of the town

I’ve been on rock bottom, I’ve even called it home

I’ve been living this life with no where to go, I just go out and roam

Roaming around with no true destination

This life giving me no sensation

It’s got me feeling all numb

For some kind of feelings, I’m just looking for some

I guess you can say that I seem hopeless

Like I’m drowning in the ocean, left out here boatless

But I have been found

By the Man who wore the thorny crown

What was before impossible is no more

I thought I didn’t have the smarts, but the Lord has so much wisdom in store

I was too tried, but He gave me rest

Felt like I wasn’t loved, but His love is the best

I said I couldn't go on, so He carried me

I carried too many burdens, but He said throw your worries on Me

I was confused, so He showed me the path

I thought I was too dirty, He provided me a bath

I was full of stress, so He eased my mind

In Him love is all that I find

I couldn’t forgive myself, but He had already forgiven

Because grace is exactly what I was given

Earned through faith alone

And it is through Him that I have grown

Through Him that I was given a second life, a second try

To the old one I just wave goodbye

Because my home is with the Lord

It is with Him that my heart and soul is stored
