Dying, my will to carry on was dying Sin had left it's brand upon my life I was only a shadow of what I could be Hurting, so many days I spent alone Just hurting I truly doubted that God was alive That's when the light of mercy was revealed to me Then You caressed my shattered world Within Your hand And healed my wounded spirit So that I could stand For the first time I know what life is for And I wonder, yes I wonder How I wonder, why I ran from A love as Yours Emptiness, so common was the sense of emptiness My greatest efforts just to break away Fell short of every goal Nothing was enough Loneliness, my old familiar friend loneliness I had not anything left but to pray And in my darkest hour All heaven opened up Then You caressed my shattered world Within Your hand And healed my wounded spirit So that I could stand For the first time I know what life is for And I wonder, yes I wonder How I wonder, why I ran from A love as Yours
