Acceptance
Written By, Candice Landis 5/19/2015
At Times It's Hard For Me To Accept
That Jesus Loves Me When I Feel So Inept
I Did Nothing To Deserve His Love
It's A Gift From Heaven Above
When I Stop And Think And Fully Realize
The Depth Of His Love Brings Tears To My Eyes
It's Loyal, Unconditional, An Unbreakable Constant
I Am Truly Amazed By This Concept
I Grew Up In A World That Never Forgave
You Carried Every Mistake With You To The Grave
Reminded By People Every Single Day
That You Threw All Hope Of Ever Being A Good Person Away
I Used To Think God Was Strict And Never Forgave
That I messed Up So Bad That From Me He Looked Away
I Felt He'd Given Up On Me After Many A Weary Day
Abandoning Me To My Sinful Mistakes
Filled With Sorrow And Mournful Complaint
I Saw Myself As A Victim Of Cruel Fate
The Self Doubt Affected Every Aspect Of My Life
From Raising My Children, To My Duties As A Wife
I Continued To Search For An Easy Way Out
Caught Up In A Storm Of Confusion And Self Doubt
Then I Learned Of Our Saviors Unconditional Love For Me
Something Clicked Deep Inside And Suddenly Him I Could See
My Self Doubt Now Fades A Little Each Day
I'm Trusting In Him To Show Me The Way
There Are Still Some Things I Need To Change
Area's Of My Life I Need To Rearrange
It's Amazing The Healing His Love Can Do
Your Spirit It Truly Does Renew
I've Learned To Depend On Him Through Every Trial
Turning A Deaf Ear To Satins Whispers Of Self Doubt And Denial
I Am Fearfully And Wonderfully Made
For All My Sins Christ Has Paid
Allowing Me To Erase The Past And Know That I Have Everything To Gain
Believing In My Savior And Handing Him The Reigns
Learning To Love Life For The first Time Ever
Standing On His Promises, Trusting In Him To Deliver
Filled With Gratitude And A Wondrous Love
Knowing We All Have Special Help From Above
