Glory In The Pit

Christ loving you
Sees the ones who threw you in the pit
And still whispers
Father, forgive them, they know not what they do
Take heart, my friend
This is His glory being revealed in you

They let you at the bottom
Wondering why you were done
Caught a consequential wisdom
But it cut you like a gun
You've been replaying every moment
Trying to make it make some sense
How the ones that said they loved you
Turned their back and jumped the fence
You were looking for an answer, for a reason, for a sign
All you found was Jesus with you sitting in that pit of time

But love don't leave you where you've fallen
Love steps down into the grave
And every stony thought would crush you
Turns into a place He saves
Christ loving you
Sees the ones who threw you down
And still whispers: Father, forgive them
They don't know what they're doing
They don't see what's true
Heaven's glory's breaking right inside of you
So take heart, my friend
This valley's not the end
This is His glory in the middle of it
Yeah, this is His glory in the pit

You could've turned bitter
Could've let the poison stay
Could've built a higher prison
Just to keep out all the pain
But somewhere in the darkness
Grace rewrote the plan
You started praying for your enemies
With nails scarred hands
You said: God, I don't feel it, but I'll say what You once said
If You could bleed for their forgiveness
Teach my heart to do the same
'Cause love don't wait for them to earn it
Love don't stand back and accuse
Love remembers what You prayed for
When You hung there bruised

Christ loving you is more than a feeling
It's the power to forgive whenever everything in you wants revenge
When you look at those who threw you in a pit
Instead of cursing them
You find yourself saying: Father, forgive them, they don't know what they've done

That's not weakness
That's not you being naive
That's His glory being revealed in you

Christ loving you
Christ loving you
Sees the ones who threw you down
And still whispers: Father, forgive them
Now, they don't know what they're doing
They don't see what's true
Heaven's glory's breaking right inside of you
So take heart, my friend
This valley's not the end
This is His glory in the middle of it
Yeah, this is His glory in the wound that's split
This is His glory in the pit

Take heart, my friend
He's not done yet
This is His glory in the pit
