Before You I was nothing, but a worn out weary soul.

Like a homeless beggar , I stood before Your door

I was filled with filth, yet You drew me near.

Your grace beckoned me, like someone so dear.

 

As I come before You , with my head held low,

my broken and bitter heart, my life filled with woe.

I have nothing to present but my pain and my tears,

my worries that haunt me, and my gnawing fears

 

Your mercy moved me. Your power made me stay

Your love transformed me , in a very special way.

You called me by my name, and then I knew.

I’m finally home because I belong to You.

 

All my doubts and fears, You cast them away

And enfold me in Your love day after day

My heart, You held in the palm of your hand

My soul, You saved for the promise land

 

Now that I’m with You, I can faithfully endure

Till like gold in the furnace, I will come out pure.

Now I’m filled with Your content, I can patiently wait

Till I receive the Crown of Life, the reward of my faith.
