You're still here.
My God that's so amazing.

I walked away,
mired in shame,
limp and lame
and blamed the pain

And mostly You.
For what was mostly me.

And I lost my road
Even when You told
me which way to look
I ignored Your book

So why do You still wait?

I've come so far,
to a point where I wonder
what is too far
and I hear Your whisper
I hear Your yell
I hear the words
no such thing exists

And You're still here waiting.

And that is amazing.

What greater love can there be
Than a God who never abandons me
even when I abandon Him?

What greater God can there be
when He takes me back
despite my past
He says it's erased by Me
And I'm still here waiting.

So now it's time, I drew the line
and turned around and stepped towards the Man
Who forgave me.
No longer waiting for me.
Because here I am.

Here I am.
