Accepted

And from my heart the song rises
Praises to my Father God,
the Lover of my soul.
Suddenly into His realm I am transported and
freedom wraps its arms around me,
holds me close tenderly
He removes the shackles which have bound me in despair.
Even as I serenade Him with my song,
He releases His Light into my bleak heart

And I embrace my God
With no shame,
With no guilt.

I know He loves me,
I know He does
Even though the world will stone me,
I know my God will stand in my defense,
He will shield me from the stones hurled at me
I know He loves me.
He loved me on the cross,
He loved me when I didn’t know Him.
He loved me when I shamed Him.
He loved me then.
And he loves me now

And from my heart the song rises
I sing my love song to Him.

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
