Lyrics
Through my trials and tribulations
Expressing experiences of challenges and hardships
When I'm feeling all alone
Feeling isolated and lonely
When there's no hope for my future
Experiencing a lack of hope for the future
And I'm miles away from home
Being far away from one's place of comfort or belonging
When every breath I take is sinful
Acknowledging a pattern of sinful behavior
And I've pushed You from my mind
Having neglected or ignored a connection with a higher power
When I don't deserve forgiveness
Feeling unworthy of forgiveness
And I'm running out of time
Sensing a limited time to rectify mistakes
I hear Your mother call
Perceiving a call from a maternal figure (possibly symbolic)
And her words reveal all
Recognizing meaningful guidance from the maternal figure
Christ is a fountain of mercy
Identifying Christ as a source of mercy
Let His blood wash over you
Encouraging the cleansing power of Christ's blood
He stands here patiently waiting
Portraying Christ as patiently available for transformation
To make all things new
Promising renewal through Christ's intervention
He has forgiven you
Acknowledging personal forgiveness from Christ
When I search for love in places
Searching for love in unfulfilling places
That Your grace does not reside
Noticing the absence of divine grace in certain aspects of life
When my beat down guilty conscious
Feeling burdened by guilt and a desire to escape
Makes me want to run away and hide
Expressing a wish to hide from perceived judgment
When the people that surround me
Experiencing rejection or discomfort from others
They can't stand to see my face
Facing fear and shame affecting one's faith
And the fear and shame that haunts me
Describing emotional struggles affecting faith as small as a mustard seed
Shakes my mustard seed like faith
Responding to a call from a paternal figure (possibly symbolic)
I hear Your father call
Receiving meaningful guidance from the paternal figure
And his words reveal all
Reiterating Christ as a source of mercy
Christ is a fountain of mercy
Emphasizing the purifying effect of Christ's blood
Let His blood wash over you
Depicting Christ's patient presence for transformative purposes
He stands here patiently waiting
Reassuring the promise of making all things new through Christ
To make all things new
Confirming personal forgiveness through Christ
He has forgiven you
Repeating the assurance of forgiveness
He has forgiven you
Reiterating the certainty of forgiveness
(He has forgiven you)
(Repetition of line 30)
I hear my savior call
Hearing a call from a figure representing salvation
And His words reveal all
Receiving significant guidance from the Savior
Come to the fountain of mercy
Inviting others to approach the mercy fountain of Christ
Let My blood wash over you
Encouraging the purifying effect of Christ's blood for others
I stand here patiently waiting
Standing ready for transformation and renewal
To make all things new
Reiterating the promise of making all things new for others
I have forgiven you
Affirming personal forgiveness extended to others
