Conceived in trouble Brought forth in pain Delivered in hope Reared in faith

Consumed by despair No comfort found

Life seemed hopeless But You were there all the time Where could I turn? But You were there all the time

How many times, O Lord? How many times have You shown me And I closed my eyes How many times have You called But I stopped my ears

You’ve surrounded me; You’ve hemmed me in But I shook You off; I chased my sin I groped in darkness unable to win You offered grace again and again

Prayer was lifted The answer was, “Yes”

Come alive in me
