taken

Laden with chains and labelled by failure,
fallen down in the same place too many times,
tonight all my burdens might break my back
if You don't come over me and severe these ties

Because I'm locked in a cage of sin,
and I want to let You in
but can You take this shame, this sorrow, this pain
and make me new again?

Burdened by brokenness, living in doubt,
stuck in this rut that I've carved in the ground,
tonight this rut just might consume my soul
if You don't lead me where salvation is found

Because I'm locked in a cage of sin,
and I want to let You in
but can You take this shame, this sorrow, this pain
and make me whole again?

I was labelled a failure, but You tore it in two,
I was wandering aimless until I found You,
I never found love until love found me broken,
never knew I'd gone deaf until Your words were spoken
I had carried my burdens, but You had carried a tree,
when You carried that cross, You were carrying me.

I was locked in a cage of sin,
didn't know how to let You in
But You took all my shame, my sorrow and pain
and made me Yours again.
