I've realized that through fear and doubt,
I've often held back,
Chose to live without-
His mercy and grace,
Tried to take his place,
Done works to get through,
Than get through to you-
Lord...
But then I got crushed,
Got sent to the bottom,
Till you said "come"
And I said "your will be done"
Gave back what I stole,
Let you take back control,
Not that I ever had it but I tried,
I tried so hard but in the end-
It was another attempt to hide inside,
To hide the mess that I am so aware of, that I am,
But through the lamb-
Of God,
Jesus Christ whom was slaughtered and rose from the grave,
I am by him, renewal, through mercy saved,
Through grace, love and his blood been redeemed,
So that when I pray for forgiveness I can rest at ease,
Feel peace,
For I am forgiven,
He has answered my guilty plies
