Love - Chrys Jones, Stract, Zae Da Blacksmith

When I’m facing the trials of this life

In the shadow of death and the night

When You’re bringing my sin to the light

I can cling to Your love and the Christ

Lord I see your holiness

Then I see myself, there’s a hole in this

Hopelessness when I feed myself, 'cause I’m knowing this

You’re my strong tower in my lowliness, I’m wholly blessed

Even when I’m lonely, stressed, anxious and I hold my chest

You’re my peace, fountain of living water, my salvation

Can’t outpace You in rat races, I found patience

When I look at the crowd’s faces, astound angels

In Revelation, Your elevation confounds sages

To be Your child is a blessing that can’t be understood

But it’s good, infinite love, is what no other could

Put on display, no mannequin, but You’re never moved

By stupid moods, unruly fools, to fully choose

To turn your back and serve us lack 'cause we earned it back

When we turn the facts of your Word around and interpret that

That You will leave us and forsake us, we deserve Your wrath

But You preserved a path to the cross

That’s where Your Son was tacked

When I’m facing the trials of this life

In the shadow of death and the night

When You’re bringing my sin to the light

I can cling to Your love and the Christ

When I’m facing the trials of this life

In the shadow of death and the night

When You’re bringing my sin to the light

I can cling to Your love and the Christ

I was not born innocent, though I’m made in His image

It was the infinite love of the Son that made me an immigrant, 'cause

I wasn’t born into the Kingdom of Heaven

I was a child of the devil, a rebel living irreverent

I was bought at a price, my adoption was costly

God the Father put up His Son’s life and bought me

Huh, you never seen a price tag like that

To save my soul, Christ said, «Dad, I’ll be right back»

He took the ultimate plunge, just think about what He’s done

He took up my guilt of sin so I could be called «son»

Now by His Spirit of adoption, God is my Father

When I stop at the thought, I get rocked that I can call Him «Abba»

I’m no afterthought, God’s been invested

Before the foundations of Earth, I was predestined

To be amongst His sons that are resurrected

As we eagerly await for the body and Earth’s redemption

We’re groaning

When I’m facing the trials of this life

In the shadow of death and the night

When You’re bringing my sin to the light

I can cling to Your love and the Christ

When I’m facing the trials of this life

In the shadow of death and the night

When You’re bringing my sin to the light

I can cling to Your love and the Christ

I could paint a million masterpieces, still I’d never draw You

It’s all You, the master piece is autonomous

I’m in this life now, anonymous

I notice where the comma is, but God

You enabled me to call You

I see it’s evident, my debt, the settlement

You sent to settle it, the Son who’s preeminent

Benevolent something that my will could never meddle with

My wheels spinning, no brake, pedal kick

Riding while abiding in the Son 'til my end, oh

It’s only by Your grace that I don’t go where other men go

With bloodshed You displayed Your love

You’re so just and the justifier

I’m just a liar, how could I ever serve Messiah

Knowing in my heart and mind that I deserve the fire

And this where I see Your love so clear, no fear

Can contend with this perfect love that’s found here

When I face trials

It’s Your love that gets me through, oh Lord

When I face trials

It’s Your love that gets me through, oh Lord
