Before You Can Miss Me 

I’ll be gone and back before you can miss me 

Down into the twisted depths I will go 

I’ll delve into the depths of my soul and come back with a message 

Before you can miss me 

I’ll be down and in, up and out 

I’ll play both sides light and dark 

Showing you the darkness that used to rule  

Then showing you the light that now rules 

Before you can miss me 

I’lll plunge the depths and bring back a story 

A story to prove you’re not alone 

That you’re not as broken and helpless as you think you are 

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day 

And you’re much better than that 

You were made in the image of a Loving God  

Even and especially when you feel like you aren’t  

You still are 

Come spelunking with me in the depths of your own soul 

And see through new eyes that you’re not broken you’re just scarred 

And scars are beautiful they just have to be seen from the correct light 

Over time scars even heal though it may sometimes take years 

You’ll see that even where you think your broken and ugly that you’re not 

That those cracks that you see are really the scars 

Still red and angry from where you’ve healed 

Come and take a look through eyes other than your own 

Hear the sincerity in the voices of those telling you 

That you’re not broken that you’re not a thing to be discarded 

That you are worthy of love even and especially with empty hands 

When you bring nothing to the table you are deserving of love and respect
