She lived in shame
For forty more years than she should have
Losing the days
To fire and brimstone and ?could haves?
Nothing could lessen the weight of her sin
Or the bruises she gave herself carrying them
I wish I could tell her
How much He loves her
I wish I could tell her
It's more than alright
I wish she could see that
He has no timeline
Forgiveness is wide, wide, wide
She was a kid with a kid
In a town that was too small
She thought that living on love
Was enough for them all
How could she know just how hard it would be
To carry the heaviness
No one can see
I wish she could see that
He's never left her
I wish she could see His
Arms open wide
He calls her beauty
He calls her blameless
Like an innocent child
His love is wide
No shame can
No blame can
Nothing can separate us
Oh nothing
She lived in shame
For forty more years
Than she should have
And who's to blame?
Could she have heard it from me?
I wish she could hear Him
Say that He loves her
I wish she could see Him
Say it's alright
I wish she could know that
He has no timeline
Forgiveness is wide, wide, wide
I wish she could see that
He's never left her
I wish she could see His
Arms open wide
He calls her beauty
He calls her blameless
Like and innocent child
His love is wide
