LYRIC FOR SALE

By David Cox

I always thought I was really strong
You proved to me that I was wrong
I thought I understood what love could be
But grace was something I couldn’t see

Every time I heard You died for me
I couldn’t see how that could be
But now Your Word has shown me truth
I might as well have held the sword

Now I can see I’m guilty too
And You’re the reason I’m living new
We cry out, Lord, please forgive us
Even now You still see us

I wasn’t born, but I am why
You carried that cross on Calvary
It was our sin that put You there
But still You chose that road for me

We’re guilty, Lord, but we’re forgiven
We were lost, now we’re living free
It was our sin that put You there
But it was Your love that rescued me

We fall short, we need Your grace
There’s no other way we’ll see Your face
Jesus, we will always be
Desperate for Your mercy

Our hearts are open, here we stand
Our lives are resting in Your hands
Your Spirit whispers when we stray
And leads us gently back Your way

We’re not who we were, You made us new
There’s nothing left for us to prove
Every breath, every day
We’re walking in Your grace

We’re guilty, Lord, but we’re forgiven
We were lost, now we’re living free
It was our sin that put You there
But it was Your love that rescued me

Jesus, we will always be
Standing in Your mercy

When our days on earth are through
We’ll run straight home to You
No fear, no shame, no tears from me
We know where we’ll spend eternity
