all your own



in the world
still i am
and hard the road
and dark the view
but then i look
I look to you
and see you there
in gardens pleading
loving me

For all the father
gave to you
and glory indescribable
you put aside oh so freely
to come to earth and
love the ones
who turned and hated
you and fought your love
with every fiber of our own

the bleeding dying all alone
and weight of sin was all my own
i wallowed wormlike in the murk
loving all the dead i was
but YOU, you took the pain and
bore the hurt and took the shame
the curse of God on broken Me
YOU
Died
for
me.

"nothing in my hand I bring
simply to thy cross I cling."

"you know the depths of my heart
and you love me the same"

these are true
your love is true
the glory all belongs to you
your beauty shines from bloodstained face
as peircing spear
would rend your side
and God forsook You as you died
but still you fought and drank that cup
for what was mine you died alone
and now my heart is all your own
