Amazed By You


Written on June 4, 2000. This is one of my favorite songs that I have written (and is my favorite of all the ones I had written to this point). I was outside meditating on God's wonder one night, and it truly amazed me when I thought of all the many things He's done for me; for all of us. This song came out of it.


The stars, they all look down tonight
Upon this, Your child
It sometimes helps if I come out
And sit here for a while
But why do I seek You tonight
Why do I call Your name?
I guess it's 'cause I've realized
That I've failed You once again

Chorus Part 1:
Now I'm lost and I'm so disillusioned
Lost in all my mind's confusion
I need someone to pull me through
And I know that Someone is You
'Cause You carried me from the blackest night
Into all the colors of the light
You carried me from the darkest place
To where I can see Your face

Chorus Part 2:
And I'm amazed by You
And all the things that You do
You gave mercy to this sinner
Yeah, You set this captive free
And I'm amazed by You
And all the things that You say
You said You'd love me even when
All my friends had turned away
And I'm amazed by You
I'm so amazed by You

So here's my life, at least what's left
I'm going nowhere fast
I pray that You will cleanse me now
Forgiving all my past
It's the reason I seek You tonight
It's why I call Your name
I'm praying 'cause I want to be
To be made whole once again
