and surveyed the sea of sin
Creeping ever closer
to engulf my body therein
I didnt feel the danger
or the loneliness inside
My broken empty life
was far too full of pride
A statement of independence
how i was coping fine
Was really a cry for help
but God threw me a line
For a while i had been searching
to find a love so true
That would never ever falter
no matter what i do
No words can e'er express
the love my heart has found
My Lord my saviour my Jesus
had lifted me from the ground
It made me feel so stupid
that i had never known
Of the one who took my sin
and bore it as his own
My sin stained gown was taken from me
and placed upon my Lord
As they beat and nailed him to the cross
my soul was being restored
I still didnt understand why
a father gave his son
To be so brutally murdered
for all the wrong ive done
But i lift my eyes to heaven
and praise his holy name
For filling my life with hope
and taking away the pain
I know not where my path will lead me
or the danger that i'll face
But it really isnt that important
for i've already won the race
Whichever way i choose to go
he's always by my side
To laugh with me at funny things
and be there when i cry
For there is nothing i can do
that'll make him love me more
And nothing that i've done
that'll make him close the door
My love grows stronger every day
my faith it stands the test
For Jesus is the only way,
the original and the best!
I worship him for all he;s done
the changes i've seen in me
The chains of sin are broken now
at last i've been set free
There are mountains still left to climb
but he'll catch me if i fall
And so to the one who saved my soul
I give my heart, my life my all
