I was living life trying to fill a void
looking for approval, acceptance, trying to be seen
common cliche looking for love in the wrong place
liquid courage helping me do things
I never thought I’d do
smiling in the crowd, crying alone
settled for less because
I thought I wasn’t worth more
my rebellion
his sacrifice
I sinned repeatedly
didn’t even think twice
his sacrifice
died once
didn’t even think twice
love so profound
because the debt was so great
he took my shame
buried my regrets
breathed new life
so I can be made new
living in the tension
of the new me
while still having memories of the old me
nothing forgotten
but all is forgiven
