I’m gliding through not soaring under my own power
Through the highs and lows of this life
While soaring I’ve been to the highest highs and felt my wings burn and melt
Under the heat of what i though was the sun burning me for straying to close
But turned out to me playing with matches and accelerants because I didn’t feel like i deserved love
I’m flown so low I crashed and burned and had to walk and crawl
A long and lonely path back up to the heights to launch again
But through it all God has always been by my side
Without his grace without his healing, I would not have survived that November 13th, back in 2013
I had crashed harder than I ever felt possible and I was already on the ground when it happened
I fell into a pit, and I was tired and I gave up
I took those pills, and I laid me down to sleep praying never to wake and the Lord my soul to take
For the pills were counted and weighed
The cost had been calculated, and I was finally ready to pay
And pay I did
But death spurned me on the orders of a just and loving God who said not yet
Your time hasn’t come
I have plans for you
Good plans better than you can dream of
You have lives to save and lives to change
You have books to fill with your poetry
You have war to fight yes but you will be victorious, but this is not the way
So, I slept for almost 48 hours, and I awoke groggy and feeling like shit but alive
I had been saved yet again by the Gods that I had turned my back on
Because he wouldn’t stop the pain, the depression
But he never stopped loving me
He never stopped chasing me
I tell you today
He has never stopped chasing you never stopped loving you
No matter what you’ve done
No matter who you are or where you are in life
He has never stopped Loving you
Slow down the running quit covering your ears
He’s calling your name out, calling to you saying come let me in child let me love you
His name is Jesus, and he loves you and he’s never stopped
Will you listen and accept his Love or keep running
The choice is yours he doesn’t force us to accept his love or his forgiveness
Forgiveness we sorely need for we are sinners every one of us
Accept him let him lift you up to new heights soar under his power
Because he doesn’t look at you saying you’re worthless you sinner
He stands by your side with his arm around you saying we can fix this if you’ll let me help
All you need to do is accept him and let him in.
