Keep Me Safe, with You

Empty Sidewalks
Closed doorways
Welcome to my little life.
Turned faces and Closed off graces
Maybe I should’ve stayed inside.

They look at me like I had a say.
Guess it doesn’t matter anyway…

When darkness closes all around
When hearts are shattered on the ground
Where will I find light?
When dirt has stained my greatest prize
When life has taken all I’ve tried - to hold on to
Keep me safe, with You.

Consequences for my crime
Choices made from others eyes
Who gave them a say?
Why can they take my clean away?
Reckless actions trying to disguise
Control I always thought was mine

And now it’s gone
Now it’s gone

When you thought he loved you ‘till he figured out
When the pool of mercy’s ‘xperiencing a drought.
Where will I find light?
When they think my sin is too grotesque
Grace won’t cover this whole mess
Keep me safe, with You.

And they preach grace washing them clean.
Covering hurt and broken things.
I’m not too dirty for His hands
He washes parts you’d never understand.

And I’m as clean as you…
I’m as clean as you…

When I am lost, feeling so alone
When I can’t find a place to call my home.
You will be my light.
When everyone else sets me apart
You’re still the one that holds my heart
You keep me safe, with You
