We’ve faced every day

While trying to find a way

We’ve been shamed

Been defamed

Been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing at what cost

We’ve longed for a word

We’ve never heard

We’ve searched for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve grappled with doubt

That things will work out

We’ve longed for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve been turned around

While searching for solid ground

Then God appeared

Removed what we feared

And took us from broken to blessed

We’ve prayed for strength

While talking at length

We’ve tried to change our view

Wondered how we’d make it through

We’ve looked ahead

While filled with dread

We’ve longed for something pure

To fill safe and secure

We’ve wondered what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We’ve longed for affection

As well as protection

We’ve searched for something real

Too difficult to conceal

We’ve longed for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We’ve tried to stand

While wanting to hold a hand

We’ve wondered how to live

How to give

And how to love

Just like heaven above

Until God appeared

Removed what we feared

And took us from broken to blessed
