You call my name
So softly, so tenderly
You urge me closer
The embrace of Your love awaits
But I turn my back on You
I am too stubborn to listen to Your call
Instead I choose to wander aimlessly
Trying to make sense of this life on my own
But You follow me even in my darkness
As I plunge the depths of despair

To let me know I can always return
Finally I reach the end of my tether
Trapped in a thorny bush I am helpless
Tears stream down Your face as I struggle
With one word from me You would end my pain
The thorns leave gashing wounds
The cruelty of life pierces me with sorrow
Every move I make entangles me further
Finally I cry out for help
I call Your Name
So anxiously, with immense guilt
You draw close to me
And take my hand
