Songtext von For I Was Far

This is my story, my testimony Filled with redemption, a life with hope I can’t be silent when I think about it My undeserving heart it overthrows For I was far away and dead in sin I had no hope at all to live again And then you came and drew me close in love You washed away my guilt and filthy stains You took this broken, unworthy servant Made new in mercy, you call me friend I just can’t hide it, I have to shout it I will be singing till the end I am a pilgrim, a stranger on earth Keeping my eyes fixed upon the prize I sing this song to remind my heart of The grace forever found before your eyes And when the day breaks, and heaven’s life weighs My soul to look on the one I love My heart will burst forth in rapture’s praises My thankful heart I give this worthy one
