You Remember Me

Sometimes I don’t realize
How far away I’ve fallen
Until You reach out.
I don’t know where the fire’s gone.
The tears in my eyes
Blur the picture of Your face
And my guilt and shame
Force us apart.
Until I can no longer look at You
Until I have forgotten that You’re beautiful
And that I love to hear Your voice
And that when I’m in Your arms
I’m home.

But You remember me
And You won’t let me go.
Every time I fall away
You take me and hold me close.
I don’t deserve Your faithfulness
And I don’t deserve the cross
But still I see You standing there
Refusing to let me be lost/

It’s so hard to find the words
To tell of what You’ve done
By finding me
And calling me Your own
I feel so unworthy
When |I look in Your eyes
And see how You care for me
How You were willing to die.
And now I can hardly look away
You are so beautiful
Your voice surrounds me
You’re calling my name.
I’m home.

Because You remembered me.
You’ll never let me go.
Though I still will fall away
You’ll always be holding me close.
I can never deserve your faithfulness.
I can never deserve the cross.
But that never changed Your mind.
I am no longer lost.

It brings me to my knees
When I hear the beating of your heart.
The heart that sent Your son to die
To save a nobody like me.
Let my heart echo
The ocean of your love,
Spreading and growing until the world
Is awash in its beauty

And let me never forget
How You remembered me.

[Hello, Goodbye]

I love this, its filled with a beseeching spirit that keeps me entranced..

[Twilight]

Such sincere and powerful devotion, is demonstrated by these lines, Leah! Also, quite humbling to read, in places. For example, you even refer to yourself as a "nobody", on one occasion!

Overall, it seems like a spontaneous write. Straight from the heart! Interestingly, the second to last verse describes a combination of optimistic and dark thoughts, perhaps? Thankyou, Leah!

It sounds like the story of the messiah
If it is I loved it even more

Great work!
Loved it
