Story behind the song
A gospelish song that just came pouring out of me while I felt a little self-convicted.
Lyrics
How far I've fallen, I'll never know I've lived in the darkness that reigns below The power of your mercy, the strength of your grace Lifts me up to see your face And so it is I've fallen down To let all my sorrows drown The rivers of tears I'll cry for your feet I'll dry with my hair for the times I've been weak Let me love much, Lord, let me love deep Abundant forgiveness for the tears that I weep How distant I've travelled to faraway lands Squandered my riches, let got of your hands And so I've returned, just call me your slave But you've jewelled my finger, this son that you save And so it is I've fallen down To let all my sorrows drown The rivers of tears I'll cry for your feet I'll dry with my hair for the times I've been weak Let me love much, Lord, let me love deep Abundant forgiveness for the tears that I weep Caught in betrayal, they bring me to you They're asking to stone me, they turn to you And down in the sand, you write my name You say, “Who will condemn you?” Breaking my shame And so it is I've fallen down To let all my sorrows drown The rivers of tears I'll cry for your feet I'll dry with my hair for the times I've been weak Let me love much, Lord, let me love deep Abundant forgiveness for the tears that I weep

Im not the kind of guy who just give out compliments just to give them, so i can honest say that i quite like this song. Your voice is very clear and fits the song very well The song in its self is well thought and the lyrics is very well written. Good Work!
