So Amazed

How I got mixed up in your love,
twisted together, from the soul up to the heart.
Carrying me when I no longer could move.
It all began in spite of my rebellion,
covering and protecting,
watching and waiting
seeping slowly, from out of nowhere,
even when I didn't know I needed you.

Though saying I wasn't ready,
you came like a slowly moving fog
enveloping me in the mist of your love
forever pursuing, with my eyes still shut.

Through the crashes and the pain
bitterness and the blame.
Taking them away, like a river does the rain,
flowing to the ocean of your forgiveness.

Through all this hesitation, a foundation was being born
to withstand the coming storms of this life and where I fall short.

To think you care so much, of one so flawed
pouring freely your grace, feeling completely awed.

Ceasing the finger pointing, realizing three were at me.

Peeling the crust away from these eyes,
seeing the evidence, and the prize,
all around

in the form of a stranger, or the tune from a song
in the taste of an apple, and one empty heart won
seeing the beauty of this place,
this earth so wonderful
the laugh and smile on a face
a perfect sunset, and a moon thats full

You were always there.

Shedding my chameleon existence,
You revealed the truth to me
As soon as I took off the mask
and exposing myself to thee
what this world could not make last
I was filled wholly and set free

so amazed by Your Love
