From Childhood to Grace

[Intro]
Oh, what a journey, what a grace
From childhood's innocence to this sacred place
He held me so gently when I was just three
Whispered softly, "Child, you're safe with me."

[Verse 1]
In the quiet of my heart, I felt His gentle touch
A divine presence, loving me so much, 
First time I heard His voice, a whisper through that cold basement under my baby blankie..
Promising, " have patience with me."

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the storms, through the trials,
His love carried me on, though I did not feel him for a while, I knew he was always with me...
No matter where life leads, His grace remains strong
He waited patiently, for my soul to see, in 
His love, he was waiting for ME to love me......

[Chorus]
Jesus, you've come into my heart in these past days
Filling all my love, guiding me all the way
From childhood's trust to a love so strong 
I'm wrapped in your mercy, renewed in your arms 
Thank you for never letting go
Your love has made my spirit whole
From the first embrace to now I see
You healed my soul, you set me free, thank you for carrying me

[Bridge]
Loving myself was the start, a foundation built strong
No drugs, no alcohol,  just plain old me, His Spirit all along and guiding me
Forgiving what was lost, embracing what now is
Walking in His light, his love feels so bright 

[Outro]
Thank you, Jesus, for loving me
For the journey, my path, that you have given me. I have lost you once, and found thee.. I have walked this tattered earth for miles and miles,  I have received Your love again.  In Your grace, forever..... I will keep you inside of me
