A Greater Story

Led down a road you shouldn’t have been taken
I wonder, what it would even be like, to be you
To walk a day in your shoes, feel what you feel
Thrown down, rejected, abandoned without a care

Maybe you’ve dug yourself deep, deep in hole
Maybe you haven’t seen the sun in years, and
Maybe you can’t remember what it might feel like
To have a shred of hope you could hold in your hand

Your eyes, tell a story far too deep and far too painful
Your mind, maybe it tortures you in the dark night
And maybe, even in the day, all seems pitch black
And all around you seems like a dungeon of dispair

Called worthless, shoved around and shoved down
Thrown out to rot, slowly fading from dirt to dust
No one knows your name or even cares about
Who you could have been or might have been

But there is a greater story, and there is truth

That you may have never heard in your time

There is a story of hope, healing, and freedom

There is a story of redemption and acceptance

And I could tell you till the words fall silent

But instead, I pray you experience it

It’s a love overwhelming, so consuming

A love that changes absolutely everything

A love from heaven above, from God, who loves you

A love that can’t be described with eloquent words

And i just have to tell you, that there is more for you

Because God created you with a plan for your life

And He is more than capable to change it all

He can pull you from the pit of despair

He can lift your head up, and give you hope

He can rescue you from the only life you’ve ever known

Joy and peace can surround your heart and life

So here is my prayer for you, my heart cries

Please, hand over your heart to the God who loves you

Because there is so much more to life that you can know
