Still You Loved Me by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

still you loved me

verse 1:
i walked the path i chose,
blind to truth, deaf to grace,
i filled my cup with fading things,
and wore my pride like praise.

i trusted hands that dropped me,
and words that led astray,
till pain became my portion,
and night refused the day.

chorus:
still, you loved me, lord, when i cursed your name.
still, you waited through my shame.
you held me when i wouldn’t see,
and whispered, “son, come back to me.
come back to me, dear son,” you said, “come back to me.”
and now i say, “thank you, father.”

verse 2:
you are the truth that never bends,
the faithful one, the truest friend.
no more i lean on what i feel—
i bow before your perfect will.

who is like you, lord—so full of grace,
so rich in mercy, slow to chase?
you are my father, all i need;
in your strong arms, i am redeemed.

chorus:
still, you loved me, lord, when i cursed your name.
still, you waited through my shame.
you held me when i wouldn’t see,
and whispered, “son, come back to me.
come back to me, dear son,” you said, “come back to me.”
and now i say, “thank you, father.”
