It’s one more time to remember the Nail Scarred Hands that has saved me from my sins and from eternal damnation into eternal life. The hands of a carpenter that was nailed to the cross… because of me. Sinless He might have been, He chose to bear the weight of a lost world on the cross, so that they might not perish. For He so loved the world, that He came to save those that was lost so that they might have eternal life. Look at the lives of the disciples, look at the life of one Zacchaeus, once a sinner but a sinner no more by the love of Christ.
Your love has captured me oh Lord. Your love has captivated me and compelled me to come to know You. Here I come once again oh Lord to renew my faith and my commitment in You. I’m sorry Lord if I have been deceived and led astray these last few weeks. Now I want to come home, come back to where You are. To where your Nail Scarred Hands will hug me and embrace me. To where your love will never end. I love You, Jesus.
This post is dedicated to Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior, on the day of rememberance that He died 2,000 years ago to save me from my sins. Thank you for your unending love, Jesus. Thank you for saving me from my sins.
Here I am, Lord, and I’m drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You’ve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
‘cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I’m in
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You’ve washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can’t live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I’m not holding on to You, but You’re holding on to me
You’re holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don’t have to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
