Nameless and Aimless

I was...

nameless, aimless,

Frightened and frameless,

Fearful, tearful and confused.

I was... 

graceless, baseless,

Fragile and faceless

Chaotic, neurotic and abused.

I was... 

Cut up, shut up

Beat up and boozed up

Burnt up, battered and bruised.

So, this is my story

Gut rot to glory 

Abused and accused now defused.  

For He knocked on my door

N' Came to explore

Was I ready to ask and receive

I invited him in

We had a bite and a chin

N' I said I'm ready to believe

I took Him at His word

Inside of me stirred

N'the Spirit He filled up my heart

I was excited to hear

forgiveness was near

A stainless and blameless new start

For to those who receive,

To all who believe

There's the right to be a child of God

He crossed the divide

I met Him inside

I just had to give him the nod

For He's Heaven's great winner

who came for this sinner

Fearless and faithful is He

Steadfast and stable, 

Gentle and able,

He gave up His life all for me

For He gave up the sky

That babe from on high

Slain afore earth even formed 

He saw what was broken,

Messed up and chokin',

Came to restore and reform,

He saw all my pain

Tears, guilt and my shame

depression, demeanour, distress,  

O what a relief,

As He gave me the brief,

Be healed as y’ repent and confess

I fell to my knees,

said God will you please,

forgive and enter my life.

He came to transform

This weary soul worn

And show me a new way of life

As my mind's been renewed

My life I've reviewed

I've looked back and seen His great hand

He's held me that often

Heart hardness to soften

The Spirit's new brand comes to land

For it’s by grace I’ve been saved,

From all that’s depraved

A gift I’ve received by faith

The same true for you

A creation made new

See the Saviour who’s taken our place.

So, whatever your story

Gut rot and gory

The Saviour wants you to be found

He showed me the rock 

no sandy breeze block

But built on the firm solid ground

For this is your time

To bring it in line

Good News, Good News, sets free

No longer nameless,

Frightened or frameless,

I’m free to confess now I see

For this is your time

To bring it in line

Good News, Good News sets free.

No longer graceless,

Fragile or faceless,

I am free to express,… I am ME!
