CHORUS 1, 3, 5
Thank you Lord for the kindness of the ones You trust to sweep the dust and
Bring some sun to a darkened soul & fill some holes dug out long ago.
VERSE1
Curtain closed - Right on time
The hour had passed - No rewind
I didn’t know - A chapters end
It would be the last - Farewell friend
The kindness of - Tenderness
Your loving heart - Sweet & precious
Helped me to see - Through the lies
I really was worth something.
CHORUS 2
Thank You Lord for the Sweetness of Your affection in my direction.
And never giving up on me even whenI threw away the key.
VERSE 2
Look outside - Sun is shining
But deep inside - Tears are raining
A dark distress - What a mess
A hidden brokenness - Deny, suppress
On a dead end street - Road to nowhere
Concrete defeat - Hello nightmare
Then You arrived - Lifted me
CHORUS 3 (see first chorus)
BRIDGE
Helpless & afraid, addicted, enslaved, and lonely - so lonely.
Like pouring rain the shame and pain tried to drown me and define me.
When all my struggles to numb my soul failed & left me like a shattered glass,
Desperate I surrendered. And You gave me Your victory!
CHORUS 4
Thank You Lord … the Sweetness of Your affection in my direction, oh!
CHORUS 5 (see first chorus)
Ending Line
You will never give up on me even if I cannot find the key.
