Lyrics

[00:10.028] I was once a dead man
[00:14.995] A stranger with no home
[00:19.731] I stood opposed to God himself
[00:24.813] And yet He pardoned me
[00:46.681] With all my heart and the fiercest will
[00:51.360] Desired not but to thieve and kill
[00:56.759] I hadn't a thought of peace, but war
[01:01.509] Surrender was not what I'd endure
[01:08.537] I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit
[01:13.367] Faced with my list of crimes that I would always repeat
[01:18.090] Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep
[01:23.161] I'm surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness
[01:28.357] In this thieving heart of stone
[01:32.686] I realized all these sins I could not atone
[01:38.674] I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit
[01:43.740] Faced with my list of crimes
[01:48.512] I was once a dead man
[01:53.553] A stranger with no home
[01:58.584] I stood opposed to God himself
[02:03.762] And yet He pardoned me
[02:06.641] So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins
[02:11.539] You took this heart of mine and gave me life again
[02:19.236] You gave me life again
[02:24.895] This is where I begin
[02:25.065] So far apart and a debt to fulfill
[02:29.856] This purchase bought on redemption's hill
[02:35.358] An ailing disease I couldn't cure
[02:40.118] Oh this grace! How rich and pure!
[02:58.794] The mob they yelled and screamed for justice
[03:02.208] That wrath was ours we are to blame
[03:07.181] You made a spectacle of rulers
[03:12.142] Denying You of a king's fame
[03:17.583] Having crushed the written cannon
[03:22.346] That wrote of all our guilt and shame
[03:27.304] Displayed upon the tree it was nailed
[03:32.317] The saving power of Your name
[03:37.195] For I was once a dead man
[03:41.932] A stranger with no home
[03:47.194] You saw this wretch
[03:49.199] And You gave him life
[03:51.966] Forever I'll praise You!
[03:58.492] I will praise You!
