Wide - Kim Hill

She lived in shame

For forty more years than she should have

Losing the days

To fire and brimstone and «could haves»

Nothing could lessen the weight of her sin

Or the bruises she gave herself carrying them

I wish I could tell her

How much He loves her

I wish I could tell her

It’s more than alright

I wish she could see that

He has no timeline

Forgiveness is wide, wide, wide

She was a kid with a kid

In a town that was too small

She thought that living on love

Was enough for them all

How could she know just how hard it would be

To carry the heaviness no one can see

I wish I could tell her

How much He loves her

I wish I could tell her

It’s more than alright

I wish she could see that

He has no timeline

Forgiveness is wide, wide, wide

I wish she could see that

He’s never left her

I wish she could see His

Arms open wide

He calls her beauty

He calls her blameless

Like an innocent child

'Cause His love is wide

No shame can

No blame can

Nothing can separate us

Oh, nothing

She lived in shame

For forty more years than she should have

And who’s to blame?

Could she have heard this from me?

I wish she could hear Him

Say that He loves her

I wish she could see Him

Say it’s alright

I wish she could know that

He has no timeline

Forgiveness is wide, wide, wide

I wish she could see that

He never left her

I wish she could see His

Arms open wide

He calls her beauty

He calls her blameless

Like and innocent child

'Cause His love is wide

'Cause His love is wide

His love is wide, wide, wide
