Lovely Traces February 4, 2007

I was listening to this song over and over again yesterday. I find the lyrics so meaningful.

I have a confession to make. Sometimes I feel as though I am drifting away from God, but this song reminds me of the path I took to get me to where I am now. That is when I  recovered my faith in God and myself. It was a long way, but God never gave up on me, so I should not give up on myself. No matter how distant God seems, I should continue doing everything for his glory.

I cried for ages after listening to this song.

Lovely Traces 

I was consumed
By a life that I made
Destined to crash
Beat up and bruised
By the flashbacks of my own past
I tried to hide away
Till I heard you say

~Chorus 1~
Lovely traces fall behind you
Turn around and you will see
Lovely traces to remind you
Everything that you’ve been through
What it took to get you to me

All my mistakes
Regrettable choices I’d like to forget
But somehow you make
All that I wasted useful again
I thought I fell from grace
But you can’t erase

~Chorus 2~
The lovely traces behind you
Turn around and you will see
Lovely traces to remind you
Everything that you’ve been through
What it took to get you to me

I lost my direction
‘Cause I couldn’t see
What a beautiful picture
You would complete in me

~Chorus 2~
