The Compassion Of Christ

But as I whore in the dark

There's someone gently knocking on the door of my heart

But to open up is not an option, never

Remember that valve is closed off forever

(Who is it?) It's the King of love, the Blessed Savior

He came to dig deep like an excavator

To take your shame, sin stains, and pain

And remain as your life source, your respirator

But I've never allowed any in before

This devilish child has many sins and sores

So perhaps it's a mistake, Lord

He said: No actually, you're exactly who I came for

But I spent my life violently despising Thee

Yet your reply is You delight in me?

Stay away from this awful ruined soul

But that's when you called me beautiful

I tried to just shun Him, but I'm tired of running

And the Messiah really desires to come in

And he's pursued me in the pit that I'm trapped in

And I can no longer resist His compassion

I'm made in your image but I need restored

I see Your heart of mercy beaming forth

So I invite you, Christ, come into this place

Pour your currents of mercy, rivers of grace

I thought this heart was unredeemable

Too rotten, dark, the scum's uncleanable

The depths of its death I deemed unreachable

And you're the only One who wants to clean my soul

You rightly expose the depths of my hardness

Your light has shown how wretched my heart is

But not to condemn me, to wash and then cleanse me

And reign in life over the death and the darkness

You didn't expose me to leave me feeling dirty

But to heal and purge me and reveal Your mercy

That it's infinitely greater than my sin

And your healing's greater than my pain that's within

I should be left to be doomed to the tomb

But I'm rescued from death through my union with You

Rose from the dead -- You broke the head of Satan

Now I'm a part of your global restoration

I had no rest like an insomniac

Now 'cus of Your righteousness, Your Father's glad

And my wife and kids, you brought them back

And restored my relationships with mom and dad

You take pleasure in renewing the ruin

United to Christ, now I truly am human

So my heart is alive to love and to praise and to give

And encourage those enslaved to their pain and their sin

Hoisted on the Roman tree in blackness

Your voice, it groaned for me to have this

You rose to free us captives and ravish

How You're now rejoicing over me in gladness

Jesus, I give you every pain in my soul

Here's my sexuality I thought Satan had stole

And here's my sin that you paid as a whole

Here's the throne of my heart---please reign in control!
