The connection worth finding.

Verse 1) I walked for years beneath a heavy cloud Of disapproval, whispering so loud That I was never enough, always falling short Caught in the lies of a broken court But then You spoke a word that broke the chain You took my guilt and You took my shame Now I stand tall, no longer cast aside In Your validation, I’ve found my pride. (Chorus) Oh, the great exchange, the beauty for the gray You take the night and You bring the day From the depths of the dark to the light above You turn my hate into Your perfect love. (Verse 2) My heart was racing, a drum inside my chest Caught in the nervousness, I couldn’t find my rest Shaking at the shadows of the "what-ifs" and the "whys" Searching for the truth in a sea of tangled lies But You held my hand and You calmed the sea With an assurance that’s anchored deep in me Though the world may shake and the mountains fall You’re the steady rock through it all. (Bridge) When sickness came to steal my breath away You were the health that met me in the fray When I felt the sting of abandonment and cold Like a wandering lamb outside of the fold You didn’t just find me, You gave me Your name Adoption is mine, I’ll never be the same! (Chorus) Oh, the great exchange, the beauty for the gray You take the night and You bring the day From the depths of the dark to the light above You turn my hate into Your perfect love. (Outro) No longer a stranger, no longer afraid In the light of the cross, the debt has been paid From the sickness to health, from the fear to the song In Your arms of mercy, is where I belong. Where I belong. I am validated. I am loved. I am Yours.
