Release

You found me broken
In a place called misery
You found me full of hatred
Yet empty
With all the trophies
Of the path I chose
Hung around my neck
Like shackles
Though my blood fermented
By this blackened heart
Your hand stretched out to me
Asking nothing
You healed my sickness
You cured my disease
You brought salvation
You brought release
You know where I came from
You know what I'd be
If You hadn't saved me
Sacred, broken tree
Deserving of nothing
Guilty of all
You gave everything
You didn't let me fall
And though I don't understand You
Why You value me
I'm forever grateful
For Your mercy
And though I thought the pain
The pain would never cease
You brought redemption
You brought release
