Meditation #1

Meditation #1

I’ve run from You
    from Your call to live
    I’ve embraced the trap of sin.

I sought rest from torment
    from grief and pain
    but no rest was found within.

I trusted my strength
    my will and resolve
    to carry me to the end
But I was weak
    lost in the dark
    always deeper drawn in

Thought I’d found bottom
    the end of my struggle
    the path to end my strife
I lied to myself
    I failed to embrace
    the One to restore my life

He never gave up
    continued to call
    for me to surrender my heart
Now new life I’ve found
    in the palm of His hand
    in His love I’ve found a new start
