"There is more to medicine than fixing problems - there are healing words" - David Levy, M.D. (Gray Matter)

I am a puzzle

put together all wrong

You take me apart

what a mess I've become

Piece by piece

ache after ache

You stitch me back together

authentically made

Yet here I stand

shiny brand new

so why do I feel this way

alone and confused

I long to run free

yet my past weighs me down

I yearn to sing loud

but my voice is choked out

Silently weeping

You hear every cry

You speak to my heart

to break every lie

Every lie ever told to me

every lie ever said

only truth will ever save me

from this path marked for dead

Touch my lips that I might speak

from this heart You've given me

with all boldness, full of faith

for Your glory, for Your fame

You are great beyond all measure

There is no one like You Lord

In your mercy loved a stranger

Judgment thrown out the door

Thank You for Your love oh Lord

This love so fathomless

That Your Son would come to die for me

to free me from my wretched mess

No longer chained down by my sin

No longer in my hell-bound state

Hallelujah! I am marked for life

No lie will ever snatch my fate

I long to spend eternity

an eternity with You

Eternity to praise Your name

with everything remade new

Tears no longer shed

Heart no longer aching

Ever will I yearn for thee

in all-surpassing glory

Thank You Lord Jesus

for this grace that You give -

a grace of second chances

for the chance to truly live
