Robert Wakefield - Salvaging

You saw me alone under the slivered crescent moon
Beneath the glaring streetlights of the empty night
Suffering in my fatal flaws, my fatal wound
Still bleeding from falling upon the thorns of life
Bleeding out

In the cold twilight of my death
You saw me under the glow of the blue night sky
Struggling, laboring just for breath
Lost in winding deserted streets by and by - winding down

The curling yellow fog had left me dazed
And my tongue was parched from the scathing heat
When I saw Your hand reach for me I couldn't help but be amazed
And I begin to think maybe You could save me - save me

Under piercing lights, I empty out my soul
Burnt out as the orange dying sunset
You salvage my remains, though I've never been whole
You give me a new heart and I know there's hope yet
There's hope yet

Dying in the hardened chains I have earned
Receiving the wages I've been owed
When I saw the shadows flickering from behind me I turned
I saw the light I had never knowed
And I reached out, I reached out

I am known and wanted by You, You search for me
Your love is my rebirth and my resurrection
I accept this gift in that Your death is my victory
I have died and will be reborn in Your salvation

And in the new morning I'll emerge from my tomb as a new being
Being shaped and molded by You
I'll leave behind my old sorrow and mourning
And seize the joy held out by You
And I'll reach out

'Til that final day when I arrive where I belong
I'll navigate this narrow road under the sun
Your Word guides me even when my walk goes wrong
And I'll keep running 'til my race is run
And keep reaching out, keep reaching out
Keep reaching out, keep reaching out
