Out of the Pit and into The Kingdom

So many times I danced with the edge just to feel alive

So many times I jumped out of the airplane justa take the dive

So many times I dove into the deep end just to see if I had a breath

So many times with my actions did I ask for death



But you never granted it, you held it at bay

Why, I wondered why would you give me another day

What is so special about this life that I have?

And then it happenedyou anointed my eyes with salve

And I could see what I never saw before



A Holy loving God that desires a relationship in which He can prove His goodness

Leaving me with the admiration in my heart of how could ness?

How could a God that governs the galaxies and everything that draws breath?

Desire to love a loser like me that was so foolish that he wanted death?

Because He desires to give a knowledge that no man could give or buy

Holy, pure, righteous God died as a man to give life so that I wouldnt die

My soul was downcast, heavy and burdened in a depression for 19 years

So many times I tried to get out and having nothing but tears

Couldnt tell anyone, suffering in silence but You wouldnt have that

Not you! From The Throne of Majesty You had decreed,

"Father I love this one, He belongs to me", as you did intercede

I was your enemy and doing all that felt good to me, and ignoring you

Lord my God the things that I put you through

But you stayed the hand of the enemy and I couldnt use the gun

You adopted me, took me in made me family and called me "Son"



I could live a trillion life spans and still not even begin to praise You for my freedom

To tell of the Power that exists in the realm of my heart in Your Heavenly Kingdom

I was poor in spirit and You made me rich in strength, Your Biceps became mine

Giving me power on the inside that a infinity gym hours couldnt find

When the doctors and others close by prognosticated death for my baby

You stepped in and said that she was yours and let anything sway me

The fire got hot and I was in the oven heated 7 times hotter

But I was safe because I was in the hands of the Potter

You have given me victory when I should have lost at the outset

Thank you Lord for your wonders and may I never forget
