Broken, Yet Alive

Your life was purchased at a price that you could never afford

by a merciful king, a gracious Lord

 Intent on restoring your heart, yet you can't even acknowledge his works. 

Satan's tricks have got your mind bogged down, surrounded in this mire 

and still you refuse to accept Lucifer as the principal liar, 

He's got you bending over backwards, and crawling on your knee's

Making you ashamed, quivering in your designer leaves

All the while God's looking on, wishing you would give him a shout

You haven't even realised that he's waiting for the bail out 

It's all in his scripture, whilst you're letting Satan rip you

If you really knew the truth, then the truth would set you free

Failing to realise that its more to do with God, than it is to do with me.

I may think I'm worthless, full of never-ending sin

Yet someone think's I'm worthy, the most glorious of kings

This sharp denial of God's true nature, a sinful act in of itself

Yet you've got me thinking that this is all a rational denial of self

Well I'm sick and tired, of being weighed down by your tricks and deception

I was worthless, I was scum, I was the lowest of the lows. 

That is, until the Lord of Lords showed me his immaculate conception

My old life has been mortified, whilst his name has been glorified

My new life has no battle scar, just an act of redemption
Greater than any tale you've ever wove

You've been defeated at the cross, this battle is already done

So why have I been living like I'm history that still is yet to be won? 

Well I'm giving you a shout out, the courtesy of calling

More than you ever gave me, all your trickery that left me sprawling

I'm letting Christ rule my mind, my heart, my soul because he chose me 

My purpose on earth is far from worthless, but only because I'm living like my lifes been purchased

To Satan who looks down on me, I'm tearing down the balcony

Fixating my eyes on the true God who looks out for me. 

All these lies you fed me, like I'd be better off dead, 

I'm throwing them out, they're now at the bottom of the ocean
Like a discarded piece of lead.

That weight isn't holding me down, God has relieved my sorrow

You see, I am dead, I am gone, There is nothing left. 

Theres one main difference, that separates the now from before

It all comes down to the question: Who you living it for? 

So while you ailed the old me, the new me say's no freely

I'm living it for Christ, you no longer have a hold on me. 

This relationship you were using, abusing and degrading

I can guarantee you now, it's the only thing I'll be hating

The sinful me is over, your reign on me is done

Not through me, but through a prodigal God who spent his son

Saved my life, even though I don't deserve it. 

Now my life is his, a glorified purchase

Not through me, but through Jesus

A man who showed me that I'm worth it.
