Whenever I look back at my past
-- my flaws, my sins, failures, and all,
all the more that I see your grace.
You’ve always loved me through it all.
Every time I ran away, you still followed.
Every time I shut the door, you kept waiting.
Every time I cried, you wiped away my tears.
Every time I’m hurt, you shared my pain.
I drowned myself in my insecurities.
I indulged myself in pity parties.
I held on to pain and to my past.
I never knew how to love you back.
But, when all has left, you stayed.
You pursued me with a love that lasts.
You gave your life for me on that cross,
just so I could be with you for eternity.
The world can give different types of love,
but, it can’t equal the kind of love You give.
Your love’s so powerful, it transformed me.
I can’t find a love like Yours, Oh Jesus.
