Shunned At A Funeral — To Those Who (Unplugged Version)

This song really comes from the heart
I'm going to try to get through it
Without crying
I would tell you
His kindness
Of the quiet way he came
Not with thunder, not
With fire
But he gently spoke my name
I would tell you of his mercy
How he saw me my shame
And though
I tried to hide my face
He stayed and loved me just the same
I would tell you how he waited when
I cursed him in my pride
How he bore my every burden
How he stayed right by my side
When the world had closed its window
And the night would never end
I found
Jesus in the shadows
Not a judge, but as a friend
I would tell you of the moment
That his cross became my crown
How the blood
I once dismissed
Is what lifted me from the ground
I would tell you how he helped me when
I shattered from within
And how his grace
Ran deeper
Than the depths of all my sin
To those who have been broken.
To those who hide the pain.
To those whose dreams
Lay buried beneath years of guilt and strain.
To the mother who is weeping.
To the father who has failed.
To the heart that feels forgotten.
To the one whose strength has failed
To those who've lost a child.
To those who walked away.
To those who scream in silence
At the end of every day.
To those who've been betrayed.
To those who've told the lie.
To the ones who feel unworthy.
To the ones who want to die
To those who lost a marriage.
To those who bear the blame.
To those who feel
They've ruined every chance to start again.
To those who drowned in failure
To those who felt the play.
To the ones still stuck in patterns
Of the choices that they made
To those who've cursed his name.
To those who've turned and run
To those who say he couldn't love
A heart like mine undone.
To those who beg for mercy.
To those who never knew.
To every soul that's aching
This
Jesus died for you
To the sinner and saint
To the wounded and the wild
To the hopeless and the hardened
You are why he walked that mile
This
Christ is for the father
For the weary, not the wise
He is hope for those in ashes
He is life for those who die
There is no one he won't welcome
Not so lost he won't pursue
And if you think he couldn't want you
Then he came especially
For you
