Four long years

The Devil tried to crush me

I was deep in sin

Fighting to climb out of the darkness

My God gave me his hand 12 years ago

I kept letting go

I kept chasing shadows

Getting glimpses of the light

When I took Jesus hand I was able to escape the darkness

It was slow progress

It took several years

He kept pursuing me

He kept reaching out

He kept loving me

Through the disgusting muck that I threw in his face

My God has done everything for my good

Every time I cursed his name

He forgave me

Every time I take his gift of salvation and spit on it he forgives me

I can't let go of his hand

His hand is the only way to salvation

So you can keep your lies because I'm high off of Grace

The further I go down this road of life,

The harder everything tries to pull me away from my King

I have to tell the world

They can keep their fantasies and make believe satisfaction because I'm gonna cling to this hand

My grip will only grow tighter

Here I have found my life

Here I have found my joy

you pulled me in
when I wasn't looking
a kiss deeper than stars
your hand traced my face
and with that you took me

You're more beautiful
And more outstanding and bright
Than you'll ever know.
