AMAZING GRACE

GRACE

How could you love me,

When there was nothing good in me?

'Til the point you actually died

On my behalf to prove that you love me.

Tell me, how could you love me?

I'm gonna have to ask again,

How could you love me?

You took away my shame and erased every sin.

How could you love me?

You were hurt cos of my disobedience

You never left me even in my delinquency

How could you love me?

You know I'm selfish, always guilty of the act.

How could you love me?

But you still chose to be bruised for this wicked heart.

Tell me, how could you love me?

Punished and rejected - The Cross you had to endure.

My whole being was infected but you chose to offer the cure.

Oh God!

How could you love me?

Who am I that you are mindful of me?

You always think good for me

And even though I'm empty,

You still got your mind full of me.

How could you love me?

Even when there was nothing good in me.

Still you never chose to flee

This love got me on my knees

Crying, "Help me Lord"!

Please take this heart away from me

I need your yours, mine is corrupt

I was rejected still you gave me a slot

I was homeless you still chose to adopt (me)

And even when I willingly rebelled again

Still your anger, you chose not to erupt.

Jesus! Yes that name, Jesus!

It sounds funny how God sees us

Differently from the way that men sees us (scissors).

I was focused on the exterior while my interior was a mess

You came into my life and gradually turned my heart away from selfishness.

I was a captive

Addicted to the skin on my screen, deep in sin

Until you came in on the scene and rescued me from the unseen (battles)

Forces of evil contending for my heart

The debt I owed you payed all not in part

So tell me, how could you love a man like that?

..........

🎶 So what could I say?

And what could I do?

But offer this heart oh God

Completely to you. 🎶
