Even here
Even now
Your love surrounds me like a cloak
Even here
Where all that should be is emptiness
Your life flows more abundantly
I turned my face away from Yours
Enthralled by the magnetic pull of the flesh
As if it could satisfy the depth of my hungry soul
I should have reaped in kind
But for Your grace
Even now
I’m soaked in love
I’m drenched in grace
I’m in awe of You, Lord
And how much You love me
If being a son could be earned, Yours would not have been born
If my rights as a son could be withdrawn, then the Holy Spirit should never have come
You pursue me so relentlessly
Like I’m the only one in the room
Even here
Even now
I’m experiencing Your love again
Just like the first time
Even better
