Reckless

They used to call me reckless
But today they say im blessed
I just say my life's been changed by my savior Jesus
They say the lower you have fallen
The higher you have to rise
I say that the mercy is even greater
You just have to see it from His eyes
No matter what He thinks of me
Yet there still remains 
 Those who disagree
About my worthy, my value, my place.
They disagree that He would send me on His mission
But like a train I barrel on with tunnel vision 
I think about my past now in a different spirit
If it weren't for where I've been 
Would this still be my present?
I thank Him for my blessings
but I also thank him for my trials
because through my hardest times
I know He cradled me like a child
Today my testimony keeps me in check
Where others only see a lost cause
I see a precious soul worthy of heaven
I can't imagine what I would be
If God had not stepped in
Glad that I can empathize with brokenness
I won't apologize if my past doesn't meet your expectations 
I'm angry at the way the world is blinded by deception 
But faithful in the meaning of my Jesus resurrection 
I want to be the type of person
Who inspires someone else to have a life worth living
As iron sharpens iron
Lord let me be used by you
As a light
as your salt
as a safe haven
as a refuge
