I'm a simple man who God redeemed, and graciously uses for His purposes, I'm but a servant.

Lyrics
1
I was reckless, I left you hangin like a necklace-
No one to turn to cuz they told you to expect this, yet you kept this-
Heart of stone close to your own despite relentless-
Affliction, fiction, contra-dictionary methods-
I promised bread but fed you stones for every breakfast-
From early morn nothing but scorn you should’ve left this-
Cuz I was self-destructing trusting what my flesh is-
But I was spared because you cared to share my death wish.-
Let’s just, take this back to 0-5 where our lives-
Crossed paths for a bless-ed second time-
I had just got out the county and you found me in my prime,-
Primeval with committal to little more than crime-
I’m not sure why you stayed, Over and over again I’ve played-
The scenes in my head, how could you sleep in the same bed?-
With a dead man, -
Lead hand, weighing you down when you held it-
But when you did I felt the-
Weight of this world…-
Alleviated, aided by this girl-
So odd to see the love of God unfurled-
On a tablet of flesh -
Inked in His own blood no less-
Even through my loneliness-
I now see even then He blessed-
When it seemed that He ignored me, He restored me-
My Lord He, sent much more than I ever asked for, grasped for;-
Yet I was reluctant to accept -
So deep in debt to death-
My pleasure was suppressed-
And I no longer treasured breath-
Not a notion of emotion could I hope to express-
My defenses stacked higher than all my prior arrests-
Reduced to duress, I was destructive and dauntless-
Looking in the mirror asking, ‘How could she want this?”-
Conviction causing friction in my mental capacity,-
The devil was after me-
I thought you in his advocacy-
I guess I just had to see-
The glory of Calvary-
You’re just a glimpse of this ridiculous love that He has for me-
Chorus
Through the concrete walls, through the midnight calls, through it all you’re still my lady.
You’re so good to me, I just couldn’t see, please don’t cry no more my baby
2
I remember calling home at 2 in the morn’, for her to come get me-
She should’ve left me… instead she brought me home and she fed me-
Every morning that I woke up, with her lying next to me-
Was just another day I wish she never would’ve messed with me-
What impressed me the most were her decisions to stay.-
When ungratefully, I’d live to lie another day-
Who knew you’d choose to stick around after such a rough start,-
It broke my heart to see another take my yoke on their part-
Yet after years of desolation I was placed so out of touch-
And I just didn’t understand how you could love me so much-
No amount of money could repay what you’ve done for me-
This crazy race you chose to run with me, and you gave my sons to me-
You’re one with me in flesh, always one with me unless-
God should call my number next, even then just know you’re blessed-
To be continued until next, chapter, at the Bema seat-
I pray we meet- at the feet- of the Father- in eternity.
