Born of Love
There was a time when I couldn’t smile
Joy had gone and my heart felt all wrong
My spirit was shadowed by fears and tears
There was nothing inside except pain and strife
There was a time when I couldn’t comprehend
The meaning of love… the meaning of good
My soul was like a faded rose, lost and alone
Looking for hope, inspiration and kindness
There was a time when I couldn’t believe
Wonders that arouse light felt completely dead
Although I ached to know the meaning of hope
There was only sadness hidden in my heart
There was a time when I couldn’t let go of grief
Everywhere I turned, darkness was all I could see
Eclipsed by the doubt that pounded in my head
Murmurs of suspicion tore kisses from the past
There was a time when I couldn’t feel the embrace
Clasping my heart with the brilliance of elation
Falling from the skies where His light stirs the spirit
With a sense of appreciation, a blessing and a sanction
There was a time when I didn’t know His light or love
The miracles of a Savior sent to us from God above
It was only through His mercy brought to life by faith
This gift of grace opened my soul to the eternal hope…
Of One who would shine His light into the center of my soul
Open up the doors of hope and faith, rain down redemption
The amazement of a love so alive, so tender, so immense
That I could only describe this feeling as a complete and utter healing
Saved by grace, through faith in Him… my Savior, God’s Son, Jesus
The One who made a way where no way had been before
The One who filled me with joy that dances with the assurance…
That His love has conquered every doubt, brightened every cloud…
Filled me up with light that mirrors this love born of Him!
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
