My Tragedy

My tragedy
Is that I'd minimize Your perfect love for me
Read about but not realize
Eternity is knowing You today

My fallen nature naturally falls back into You
If I allow it to

I am coming just as I am
To see You just as You are
You've allowed me to wander away
To show me just how near You are to me

My tragedy
Is that I'd forget that it is You who's chosen me
Freed me from my own religiosity
And pumped my heart alive

I am coming just as I am
To see You just as You are
You've allowed me to wander away
To show me just how near You are to me

I want to rest where You are and run where You're going
All of existence comes back to knowing You
(You) loved me first and You'll love me last
Hope for my future, peace for my past
God of the ages, free from all molds
Writing the pages as history unfolds
With Christ at the centre, Father above
Spirit within us, life that is truly love
