When you have failed
In the eyes of man
And no one extends
You a helping hand
God reaches down
And lifts you again
'Cause He doesn't forsake
Aching hearts that break
And cry out in pain
No He doesn't discard
Those that are marred
Those that get scarred
And charred by life's flame
No He won't cast aside
Those that failed but tried
He'll restore with pride
Those that call His name
When you have stumbled
And you go astray
No one volunteers
To show you the way
God sends a light
To lead you back home
'Cause He will not depart
From an aching heart nor leave you alone
When you have wasted
The best of your years
In sinful living
But repent in tears
God knows your heart
And He will restore
What the locust destroyed
'Cause He's overjoyed that you're home once more
