All alone in this broken place
Empty, dirty a tear-stained face
Wrapped so tight in addictions chains
My life’s a mess and full of shame
I can’t stand up for fear I’ll fall
I cannot carry the weight of it all
My heart feels like its going to burst
It aches from all the lies and hurts
I grasp for hope but doubt sets in
Can I ever be washed of all this sin
Could a God so holy so full of life
Really want me to be his wife
I feel the love I want to succumb
But I’m so dirty I want to run
All the stains I want to hide
But He beckons me to come be his bride
He woos me to him and I can’t resist
A light breaks forth thru all the mist
He lifts me up I take his hand
I feel a breaking of every band
He takes me to a secret place
Wipes the tears from my face
He washes me in rags of red
With his hand he lifts my head
He looks deep into my soul
Rejoice my love, I’ve made you whole
I am yours and thou art mine
Now stand up and let it shine
Raise your voice and dance for me
Don’t be ashamed I’ve set you free
My body trembles and shakes with delight
I dance for Him with all my might
I am breathless so in awe
Once again to my knees I fall
My heart feels like its going to burst
For you alone I long I thirst..
I look up with a tear-stained face
Take me to the holy place
Let your rivers of love flood my soul
Flowing,refreshing I’ll never let go….
