Did you ever look at where you've been

and try and see where you're going?

Have you ever rowed the ocean wide,

and all you could do was keep on rowing?

Did you ever know the deepest darkest pain

of feeling vulnerable and alone?

Did you ever wish someone you loved

would call you on the phone?

Do you remember those times as a teen

when you wished you could believe like Soren Kierrkegard?

You wished you could be bitter

and live without consequences....

and you wished you could be hard.

And as hard as you tried

the idea of life having meaning

seemed like a cruel lie?

And you knew deep down God was watching,

as you longed to cling to his side.

Trying to find meaning,

away from all the shame.

And God pulled you to shore

just because you chose to call his name.

And clearly now you look back

and you see what a decision you've made.

To recognize His sacrifice.

The reason you are saved.

And you are proud because you made it.

And because you ignored the lie of the enemy.

He told you to give up living,

give up loving,

but in calling your savior's name,

and taking up your cross,

you've been set free.
