Redeemed

Redeemed

When innocence was lost

Stolen midstream

Ripped apart,

God heard your scream.

The path out of the nightmare

Like swimming upstream.

The anger, heartache, pain

Loneliness and isolation,

Jesus has experienced the same.

With pierced hands open wide

He asks you to give him your hurt and shame

Safety is near, in him you can hide.

Trust is difficult to give,

Broken so many times.

But either is in fear, a way to live.

Your emptiness and despair

God saw and sent his son,

And took the penalty to show he cares.

Your wholeness his desire,

But his love for you just as you are

Burns in his heart like a consuming fire.

Your worth and beauty he has seen,

The true lover of your soul

Declares unequivocally you are redeemed!
