A Love So Pure

(album: Act Of Depression - 1999)

Always did it on my own, then one day I realized I was blind
Nothing I could do on my own turn
We have found a way to see, look up, feel the Almighty
Take control as we gaze into Your eyes
We're just the tool You use to bring this world to You
Oh, Lord, how we love You
With Your grace, take away the hurt and the bruises inside
Reach down, let Your glory reside
The cross carried for all of us, paint the image in my mind
So I will never think I am something
But nothing am I but You, You are something
Lord You keep me alive, You give me rest at night
When there seems no way to find calmness in the storm
You come and take me in Your arms
And then the waves drown me no more
With You, I'll last this battle and many others
Through the ages, Your name will reign forever
Never to be replaced in these trials I face
I pray You, humble me, humble me
I want to be like You, Jesus, more and more like You
I was crucified on that day with Christ
Nailing You there with sin, accepting You
I nailed my soul to the cross and now my life begins
This world so cold but Your love keeps me warm
My father holds me in his nailed scarred hands which I put there
But for some reason, he still loves me with all his heart
Even though I betray him constantly
He always keeps his arms open waiting, till I give up my old ways
God my father, You are the only one that can give me comfort
You touch my heart in such a way that all I can do is cry Your name
Jesus Christ, I love You
My heart aches for Your love
