A SEARING ACHE DEEP IN MY SOUL

A searing ache deep in my soul
Marks a tragic life spun out of control
All I wanted was my life to end
And death embrace me like a friend
I lived a life of despair
In a world that seemed not to care
It seemed only God saw my pain
His tears for me fell like gentle rain
God heard my desperate plea
For someone to set me free
From a life without hope
I didn’t know how much longer I could cope
God sent His Son to rescue me
To show me how glorious life could be
Christ reached deep inside
And found the wounded heart I thought had died
He started that heart beating
And showed me a love that wasn’t fleeting
Jesus filled my life with such peace and joy
That I could not believe this was the same life I wanted to destroy
I never knew I could feel this way
When before only pain ruled my day
I finally found a love I never knew before
One that fills me to the core
Jesus gave His life so I might know
That my Heavenly Father loves me so
