For So Long
For so long I have pretended
Pretended that I knew You
Pretended that I had salvation
I went through the motions
But yet I showed no emotions
For so long I did things in Your name
But in secret I was against You
For so long I claimed I knew Your love
But I knew nothing of You
For so long I knew I didn't have You
I knew I didn't have You in my heart
Pride kept me from confessing my fake profession
Satan had me in his clutches
But then light was shined in on me
I could not go on as I was anymore
Broken hearted and ashamed
That was how I finally came to You
I confessed and begged
Begged for Your forgiveness
Like an ocean of peace You swept into my heart
Like a fountain of water You sprang up into my heart
You forgave me
You saved me for 'real'
Now it's crystal clear
It's clear and certain that You are in my heart
It's clear and certain that You forgave me and saved me
Now I can sing
Now, in my heart, the bells of Heaven ring
Now I have an indescribable peace and joy in my heart
Now I can praise You
Now I truly do know You
Now I truly do love You
Now You are everything to me and more
Now You are my Lord and Savior
My friend and love
That is what You are to me now
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your forgiveness
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your gift of salvation
I will forever praise Your name God! |
