The Right Price

I am waiting in the shadows.

I am scorned by passers by.
And I know well the reason

No one looks me in the eye.

I'm rejected by my own kind

I've been mocked and pushed away.

There is so much more left in me,

But that's the price I'm willing to pay.

So much more I can do.

Oh, so many things left undone.

But it's all been predetermined,

And it's happened cause I'm the One...

Won't you come to Me, children?

You don't have to wait another day.

New life beckons, strongly;

Won't you follow me today?

When you open hollow eyes,

To witness miracles sprouting,

Do you feel that thing called 'hope' rising up?

How can you keep on doubting?

There's so much love here,

Inside of Me for you,

I was broken,

And it all spilled out anew.

So I'm pulling, calling,

Hoping that someday,

You will come back, finally,

I'll be rejoicing as you pray.

So reach back, far inside your memories,

And latch on to that one speck of hope,

It was placed there so that you can see

I'm here for you, I'll help you cope.

So won't you let Me

Have full control of this ride?

It's the real thing,

And you're shaking;

And you've got nowhere to hide.

So hide no more;
Choose to be rescued.
