AM I WORTHY?

AM I WORTHY?

I am questioning my worth
I’m wondering about love
Jesus said he would return
But the question haunting my mind?
Am I worth returning for?
I’ve sinned so greatly
I lost my way more than once
I just don’t know
And the question remains
Am I worth coming back for?
I took the hammer
I took the nails
The cross? I nailed him there
I am too aware, and the question replays
Am I worth coming back for?
I threw myself down
Searching for a point
Lower than the ground
I’m lost and undone
Please God, I long to hear you say
YOU ARE worth coming back for.
I lay there lost in my fear
Crying tears of shame and I long and 
I strain to hear Him
Assuring me of his love
Calming my fear
Taking my shame
You Are worth coming back for.
Remember I sacrificed my life
My broken body pained and alone
On the tree I created for you
While your heart had turned to stone
Alone and separated from my Father
I’m alone but I groan
It is finished!
I missed it for so long 
I’m hearing it now 
I can see the sacrifice 
It is just for me
Now I can see 
Now I hear
You ARE worth coming back for. 
I hear His still small voice say…
You are definitely worth it
And its YOU I'm coming back for!
