He Left the 99 for Me

Running far from who I was.
Carried pain like heavy armor, blaming heaven for the blood.
Every road kept growing darker, every night became the same.
Till I heard a whisper calling,
Softly speaking through my shame.
When I was broken, when I could not see,
Love came searching through the darkness.
He left the '99 for me, when I was lost beyond belief.
Through every storm, through every scar,
His mercy found me where hearts break apart.
He left the '99 for me, when I had nothing left to breathe.
