I've Come To Understand
by Michael Doyle

Entombed in my shame,
I was lost in my blame.
I was afraid to show my face,
Until I learned of God's grace.

I thought I knew my place,
Hiding in the darkness.
I was afraid to show my face,
Mine was a life of harshness.

Orphaned in my circumstances,
Until God called my name.
I was afraid to take a chance
That I could rise above my blame.

There is so much that I've done wrong.
There was no place to belong.
I was broken in my despairing heart
And without a clue of where to start.

I was lost and wounded in my soul.
My life had lost all control.
Until the touch of His healing hand,
In my redemption, that I've come to understand.
