For all who are shunned
Trapped in a well of confusion and fear
Where no hope or love is near
Only needs unmet
There is a Way
Known by those who disdain you
But they prefer to trust in wealth
They don't realise what it's worth
They regard it with shame
and claim you're 'too far gone'
Your heart filled with pain
Are you living in vain?
No, there is a Way
Which one filled with compassion proclaims
Let them despise you
The Creator of the Universe knows your name
You are His most precious treasure
You set His heart with love aflame
He sent His only Son Jesus
To pay for the mess you've made
So get up out of the dirt
And stand tall, redeemed one
Get ready to proclaim
You, who are unashamed
