The resurrection of me

Don't believe in resurrection

then read between my tears

and you'll see God brought me back

'cause I was dead for years...



I killed myself along the way to the here and now

I did a few more things than I know You'd allow

I got twisted, broken, and I don't know how

but as I stand here before You, Lord, to Thee I vow...

that never will I ever die the way I used to die

and whenever my forever comes You'll carry me on high

Dead man reeling from revealing all the scars in his mind

He's concealing the real feeling that he's trying to find

I blew it and I knew it when I tried to stand alone

and it's true that without You, then I never would have grown

because what I did as a kid, it didn't banish me to hell

'cause if it did, God forbid, I'd have no stories to tell

But when I fell, let me tell You, there was nowhere to land

and in the cell where I did dwell is when I noticed Your hand

I fetched my pen and sketched right then getting lifted from that hole

Your outstretched arms etched into my mind, my heart, my soul

You told me that You'd hold me and You'd never let me go

a heart cold did now behold someone willing to bestow

an unconditional proposition, all You wanted was my love

My submission was my admission of what I always dreamed of

That someone, anyone, would love me just for me

now Your Son's undone my wrongs, and His blood has set me free

I was strange, slightly deranged, I didn't know where I was going

but my life changed, got rearranged as Your mercy started showing

A mind blocked, a heart locked, one once easily enticed

does now walk, does now talk, as a child of Christ

Within my sight a life so bright, and Your Word I will spread

and I'll write about the Light that has raised me from the dead
