The Goodness of the Lord by Neo M. Lloyd
Every pit I could fall into, I fell into.
Every mistake I could ever make, I’ve made.
Every wrong turn I could have ever taken, I took.
Every bad decision I could make, I made.
Every backsliding I could do, I did.
Every chance I had to follow the ways of death, I followed.
Who would I be?
Where would I be, If it wasn’t for your goodness, and mercy, and grace?
I was that one lost sheep and You went back to find me.
I didn’t even know I needed you.
I was happily ignorant and downright childish! But You loved me.
You gave me Your grace,
You gave me your son.
Lord Jesus you took a beating that was meant for me.
You bore every painful stripe of my rebellion.
That vinegar they gave you when you asked for water, Lord, that was my cup! The cup that I deserved.
Every drop of Your blood, You sacrificed for my soul.
Every tear I am responsible for in that moment.Every time I chose myself over You.
Every time I chose my sin over You.
Every time I chose people over You.
But You chose me over yourself.
Right from the beginning You chose to love me, to save me, to die for me!
I will never truly understand the depth, height or breath of Your love.
What I know is that You chose me!While I was dead in my sin.
You loved me, You rescued me.
I love You Lord.
My God! My Father! My Master! My Everything!
