Every day you bite and claw and push against the hands extended to you
You constantly fight and punch and kick against the love we try to give
When rescue is near you run away
Blaming someone else for your mistake
Will you not turn before it is too late?
Can’t you see the love set before you?
Can’t you see His heart will take away the pain?
Can’t you hear Him calling your name?
You fight back like a caged animal
Shaking, shuttering, scratching, snatching
You constantly battle, waging war against those who would help
Never realizing you are simply fighting against yourself
Can’t you see the grace set before you?
Can’t you see His heart will take away the pain?
Can’t you hear Him calling your name?
There will come a day when it will be finished
Then there will be no more chances
The judgment will be done
But until then…
He will not give up on you
He will not turn away
He will continue to call day after day
Will you ever turn to His way?
