Because of death upon a tree

     I woke up this morning overwhelmed by the love and mercy of God towards me. I thought of how often I fail when trials come and yet how He has never forsaken me once. I will never comprehend or fully understand His unfailing love. I wrote these words knowing that although I may not always be faithful to Him, He will always be faithful to me.

Will I walk with you through the darkest night?
 Will I speak you name when others take flight?
  What will I do when all the flames grow high?
    What shall I do if I were given a chance to hide?

How could I forget you and the scars on your back?
 Agony, you suffered as my sins are no longer tracked,
  Love, that was spilt while you bled and died for me,
   Grace, freely given because of death upon a tree.

Will I stand even when my family tells me no?
 Will I walk through the valley, fight against the foe?
   What will I do when they mock and spit in your face?
    What shall I do when I run towards you in this race?

How could I forget you and the scars on your back?
 Agony, you suffered as my sins are no longer tracked,
  Love, that was spilt while you bled and died for me,
   Grace, freely given because of death upon a tree.

You promised that you would always stand beside me,
 You promised me a Heaven that one day my eyes will see,
  You said that you would never deny me, as you plead for me,
    Your grace is freely given because of death upon a tree.

How could I forget you and the scars on your back?
 Agony, you suffered as my sins were no longer tracked,
  Love, that was spilt while you bled and died for me,
   Grace, freely given because of death upon a tree,
     Oh, your sweet grace, was freely given because of death upon a tree.

How I long for these days. :)
