Unredeemed

I've written a lot of songs in my life and I've also heard a few songs along the way that I WISH I had written. This is one of those songs. If you're going through a rough time right now, I posted this song especially for you.

Unredeemed
by Chad Cates, Tony Wood

The cruelest world, the coldest heart
The deepest wound, the endless dark
The lonely ache, the burning tears
The bitter nights, the wasted years
Life breaks and falls apart,
But we know these are

Places where grace is
Soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered
Is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For every vow that someone broke
And every lie that gave up hope
We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But when anything that's shattered
Is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed

Places where grace is
Soon to be so amazing
It may be unfulfilled
It may be unrestored
But you never know the miracle
The Father has in store
Just watch and see
It will not be
Just watch and see
It will not be
Unredeemed

Thanks for sharing. God always knows what we need and I sure needed this today.

Thank God for that truth. Seriously. And with all of the pain, especially the pain of innocent children, if we can't hold on to the fact that God does redeem it, then I really think I would just go out of my mind. Too many little Lighthouse friends hurting badly right now, and I needed to read these words to get my mind back away from the darkness. My friend Becca did a post on Extreme Home Makeovers, and she was talking about how, when they move the bus, the cameras don't focus on the house; they're focused on the people's faces. And it made me think about how MY face will look when this earthly bus finally moves away from Heaven's gates and I get to really see through Heaven's eyes. I think it might be worth keeping our mind's eye trained on THAT thought...
