I brought nothing clean
I brought only the mess
I brought the long and sorry record
That proved I could not stand

I thought the gift would cost me something
I thought I had to earn the door

But it was pure
Sheer generosity
Not earned
Not deserved
Just given
A pure gift

Out of the wreckage I could not fix
Something moved before me
Out of the hunger I could not name
Something placed me where I belong

It was pure
Sheer generosity
Not by my grip
Not by my strength
Just given
A pure gift

I did not become better
I was simply put back
Where he always wanted me

Pure
Sheer generosity
A pure gift
That is enough

A pure gift
That is enough
