Perspective

Sometimes my emotions get the better of me

My circumstances and failures are all I see

My mind doubts

And my heart shouts

And I begin to believe a lie

That I am bruised and broken

And covered in scars

That I long for your heart

But I’ve fallen too far

Mercy and grace seem just out out of my reach

Like there’s nothing and no one who can come rescue me

But my emotions don’t determine reality

They don’t change the truth

And they don’t define who God is

When I pray

I hear him say

I am the one

I was bruised

I was broken

I was covered in scars

I longed for your heart

So I came where you are

I offer mercy and grace

And a love that is true

I gave my own life to come rescue you
