His Love Will Never, Ever End

We are purchased by His love

Down the cross ran His blood

He purchased us from the curse

Sin and shame were His purse

On that cross He died for you

Oh, how His love runs true

He left the flock to seek just one

His hands stretched out, will you come

Out of darkness, you’ve been called

Into the light where you’re never stalled

In the light, darkness has to flee

Because He died on that tree

Guilt and shame will be no more

Once you pass thru Christ’ open door

Can you hear, hear Him knock

Don’t let time run out on your clock

Will you let Him come inside

Your heart is where He will reside

He will change you from the inside out

He will take away all your doubt

Forgiveness is itching to be your friend

His love will never, ever end

You’ll be an heir to His throne

Heaven will then become your home

Dungeons and prisons, do they exist

In my mind, they come with a twist

For a time, I lived without God

Entertaining my life with all of my flaws

I twisted and turned at every little bend

In a dark world, would my heart get to mend

I would go over here, then go over there

Lost in darkness, pulling out my own hair

While entertaining my flaws, I loved my own sin

I was lost in confusion and the mess I was in

It felt like a tunnel, I know I was in a war

To live this dark life became such a chore

This was an addiction, there was no escape

My world was darker than any landscape

At the end of this tunnel, I saw a dim light

But I was lost in this battle, lost in this fight

With nowhere to go, I was at the end of my rope

Holding nothing but pain, with no way to cope

This is the time I knew that I was lost

He stretched out His hand, then led me to the cross

My burdens I brought Him, to that cursed tree

He died for my sins, forgiveness was offered to me

Now I’m white as wool, clean as fresh fallen snow

I belong to my Savior, I know which way I must go

I study His Word, I want to know Him more and more

I’m thankful to God, there was a Knock on my door

From dungeons and prisons, I’m freed by His blood

He washed over my sin, He covered me by His Love
