He Called Me His



My days of the past revolved around 

what I thought would complete me,

Things I believed would fill the void within, 

things I hoped would bring joy to my soul


I thought I'd find the answers there, 

but I felt like a rope being pulled tight, 

constantly entangled in trials and storms,

desperately lost in the night


I felt like a sheep gone astray, 

yearning for attention, direction, a sign, 

the laughter that used to echo slowly fades away


But as I stepped away from His warm embrace, 

His Words cuddled me,

Truths that brought back the joy that had fled from me


Ephesians 2:4-5 - But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love 

with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses,

made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved


Upon my return, and only by His sustenance,

I found the answers I sought,

Now witnessing how rough roads are turning smooth, 

how battles are being fiercely fought


How the complicated turned simple, 

wings found to soar,

tears turned into smiles, 

how brokenness said goodbye


I witnessed the Lord's blessing for every trial faced,

Even when I turned away, His love never ceased everyday

He showed me how to fight, how to stand firm,

His love is enough for me to know He'll never let me fall.


For even when I wander far, 

He'll search out for me in the depths and heights

His love is constant, 

pulling me towards the kingdom of light


For even in my wanderings, He searches still,

He called me His child

an undeserving, unworthy human like me,

He called me His
