His love has carried me through the darkest hours
Of my life,
When I couldn’t see far beyond
The distant shores,
When Hell was hanging over my head,
I knew its either I swim to that shore or give up trying.
As I hear this singing voices far beyond
As my eyes could see,
Nothing,
But I know I heard the voices,
So beautifully as the words cling to me,
Love lifted me,
When nothing else could,
Love lifted me.
It’s in that moment as the darkness of hell was washed away,
I found my head under water,
But I saw a bright light from deep down as I look up,
Trying hard to catch air in my lungs without,
Any warning I saw a hand reaching out to me,
A vision of a beautiful angelic angel,
As the words came back,
Love lifted me
When nothing else could,
God send out his angels to save a wreck like me.
In his eyes I was someone worthy to be loved and saved
From the chains of the past.
