I was thinking I was unlovable
when you reached out a loving hand
and soothed my hurting feelings.
You helped me understand
that I could break the chain of events
that bound my heart in ice.
For you didn't just love me, you led me
into the love of Christ.
When I thought my value was nothing
you saw the worth in me.
You accepted me just as I was,
full of fear and frailty,
and made me secure enough to move on.
Your vision meant everything;
for you saw my potential, and showed me
I could be a child of the King.
I thought that my life was nothing;
you showed me that I was wrong.
I thought I had no one to turn to;
you showed me a place to belong.
Now my heart is light, and my feet can run
where once they could only plod;
for you didn't just show me, you helped me
to become a child of God.
Now I am thankful every day
for the love that has changed my life:
for you didn't just love me, you led me
into the love of Christ.
