Sometimes, we sin and feel too far gone to be saved,
Thoughts of being unworthy flood our souls like a mighty wave,
Thoughts of suicides become appealing rather than appalling,
We feel we are not good enough,
Not good enough to be saved...
Yes, I've felt that way,
I know that sickening feel in your tummy,
I know that feel of helplessness,
Because I've been there, I can relate,
I've fallen more times than I can count,
I won't put up the 'saint' display picture,
And act like it has always been fine,
Cos it hasn't.
Several times I've disappointed God;
He should just kill me and use better people,
I've even had the guts to tell Him that...
I know what it means to feel no one understands you,
I know how it feels to hold the secrets and pains on your inside,
Trying to cover it up with a smile,
While you're dying inside...
I've felt too far gone to be saved,
Not once, not twice...
But God, being so merciful beyond my comprehension keeps reminding me of His son's death,
I see the nail pierced hands,
And wish those were my hands,
So I could feel the same pain...but that wasn't His plan;
He died so I would live!
He loves me even though I'm unworthy.
Yes I'm not perfect, but for me the perfect one died, that I may be perfect.
Knowing God loves me is all I need to face the day...
To the teens, youths, and even adults who feel too far gone to be saved,
Turn around and see the Father's outstretched arms,
He's been waiting for you to come back,
He knows you're helpless and He wants to help you,
He wants to clean you up,
Give you a good bath in the tub of His son's blood,
He's got a new wardrobe for you, clothes of righteousness and holiness,
Above all, He'll give you life...real life,
This is because He loves you way too much to let you go.
Sweetheart, you're not too far gone to be saved.
Jesus loves you!
