Redeemer / Lover
You took me in-
just as I was
Into your heart;
Into your home.
I, whose sin and shame
made me an outcast
I took your love
and trampled it underfoot,
Running back to my old ways
back to the sins that had me bound.
I broke your heart
and thought only of myself.
When I was at my worst
you came and redeemed me-
paid the price for my freedom -
I who was not worth
the least of your favor.
Your forgiveness and grace
filled my heart with love.
I, Gomer, am loved and redeemed.
