Meet Me in My Failure (Contemporary Christian)

Verse 1

By the courtyard fire, I kept my hands closed tight

A servant asked your name, I turned away from light

Three times my courage broke beneath the morning chill

Yet you had seen my weakness, and you loved me still

Pre-Chorus

When the rooster called, the silence said it all

I met the weight of what I’d done, and felt my defenses fall

Chorus

Jesus, meet me in the place where I have failed

Hold my broken promise underneath the scars You bore

You did not leave me in the ashes of regret

Your mercy found my wandering heart and called me Yours again

Verse 2

I watched the road to Calvary disappear beyond the crowd

Your shoulders bent beneath the cross, while I could not speak aloud

The nails became a doorway, the grave could not remain

And through the risen morning, You were calling me by name

Pre-Chorus

No question hid its judgment, no anger closed the door

You asked if I would love You, and I was Yours once more

Chorus

Jesus, meet me in the place where I have failed

Hold my broken promise underneath the scars You bore

You did not leave me in the ashes of regret

Your mercy found my wandering heart and called me Yours again

Bridge

I will not boast in courage

I will not hide my shame

The Shepherd who was wounded

Has gathered me again

Send me where the lost are waiting

Give me grace to speak Your name

The hands I once kept empty

Now reach for You in faith

Final Chorus

Jesus, meet us in the places where we fail

Hold every broken promise underneath the scars You bore

You do not leave us in the ashes of regret

Your mercy finds our wandering hearts and calls us Yours again

Outro

At the fire, at the cross, in the dawn that rose anew

I am forgiven, I am restored, I belong to You
