defined

When the world’s opinions fade

And I think how I was made
I turn to no other one but You

It’s Your grace that rights my wrongs
Gives me a love to whom I belong
I turn to no other one but You

Time and time again
I search for myself
To stumble in the darkness
And find I am nothing else

But Your child You call me
That is how You define me
Even when I am
Brokenness and misery
As Your lamb You guide me
You desire to refine me
Even when I am
Just the dust from which You made me

When I bear a worthless name
Weighed down by sin and shame
I turn to no other one but You

It’s Your hope that lights my way
Breaks the chains that make me stay
I turn to no other one but You

Time and time again
I search for a sign
To see if I can trust
Then I hear You say, “You’re mine”

(Your) child, You call me
That is how You define me
Even when I am
Brokenness and misery
As Your lamb You guide me
You desire to refine me
Even when I am
Just the dust from which You made me

You never let go
You never forsake
You never disappoint
You give more than You take
You always listen
You always follow through
You always fight for me
You make me love You

Your child, You call me
That is how You define me
Even when I am
Brokenness and misery
As Your lamb You guide me
You desire to refine me
Even when I am
Just the dust, just the dust

Father, I call You
There is no one I can run to
Even when I have
Voices saying I shouldn’t believe You
Savior, I need You
By Your mercy, I am made new
Even when I am
Just the dust You breathed life into
