This Love of Mine
Here I am
I have wronged you
in so many instances
so many ways
on so many days
I have shamed you
dirtied your name
I am open to this pain
for I am unworthy of your name
I say, "Forgive me"
again and again
How foolish I am
My mistakes on rerun
I watch them play
Shamefulness fills every day
but here you stay
Saying, "It doesn't need to be this way"
yes you will slip
yes you will fall
into the mud
into the grime
you may commit unspeakable crimes
I am here for you
here through it all
I have saved you from this fall
So reach out your hand
place it in mine
I will give you forgiveness divine
yes you are stained
broken and scarred
From you nothing is barred
not my grace
hope or peace
none will cost you
not a dime
For I have bought you
given you a chance
I took your crimes
bearing them all as mine
All the pain, suffering and sorrow
I've taken it all
Never to be seen, today nor tomorrow
This is the gift to you
this was the cost
I have died for you
miserable, on the cross
With this love of mine
