Lured in by the charm of sin. Eyes filled with lies and the death it brings
I'm in need of mending; I need to come to You
Tired senses, low defences. No self control breaks perimeter fences
I'm in need of mending; I need to come to You
Love seeps through cracks, fulfils my lack, melts my heart to win me back
Though I don't deserve it at all
Love soaks through skin, enters in, gently healing everything
When I'm faithless You're faithful
Love's deeds bought and paid for me. Safety awaits me the day I see
Far too independent; I need to come to You
Love senses my defences, patiently tells me with Him I'm protected
Far too independent; I need to come to You
Love holds me strong, leads me on. You're my anchor in the storm
Though I don't deserve it at all
Love's outstretched arms keep me calm, hold me tight when life is hard
When I'm faithless You're faithful
Christ came so that I should gain. My wrongs are gone 'cause He took the blame
No con, just descending to take me back to You
He switches rags for riches, my life-long betrayal gets repaid with forgiveness
No con, just descending to take me back to You
Love's violent roar, silenced war, took me back from death by force
Though I don't deserve it at all
Love's fearsome rage, can't be caged, won't be fooled and can't be tamed
When I'm faithless You're faithful
We are His and nothing that we do can change it
(All that we are is now in Him)
Love has won and none can separate us from it
