I just looked up today, And realized how far away I am from where You are. I bought the lies that promised more. Lord, I know I let You down. But somehow, I will make You proud Ill turn this sinking ship around. And make it back to You. All my deeds and my good name, are just dirty rags that tear and strain To cover all my guilty stains, That You already washed away All Youve ever wanted was my heart, Freedoms arms are open, my chains have all been broken Relentless love has called me from the start I was chasing healing when Id been made well, I was fighting battles when You conquered hell, Living free but from a prison cell. Lord, I lay it down today So Ill stop living off of how I feel, And start standing on Your truth revealed Jesus is my strength, my shield And He will never fail me No more chains, Ive been set free, No more fighting battles Youve won for me. Now in Christ, I stand complete. Amen! -Casting crowns
