Lyrics

Jesus Stepped In
Words and music by Daniel Nowowiejski

Verse 1
“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times”
I placed the cup to my lips yet my tongue remained dry
I found living for self, could not satisfy, My life was insane, but I’m no longer there

Verse 2
“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."
My pockets were full, yet my heart was bone dry.
I found living for self, was living a lie, My gain was all vain, but I’m no longer there.

Chorus
I want to live only for You,
I throw off my rights and stop playing the fool.
I want to give You all that I can,
No I won’t consider a life without You.
For I have been lost, but now I’m found,
Jesus stepped in now I’m no longer there.

Verse 3
“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.”
I had dreams by the score, yet had no wings to fly.
I found living for self, was like serving hard time,
My life had no joy, but I’m no longer there.

Verse 4
“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times”
I had friendships to spare, but not one stood by
When my living for self, had left me to die,
Jesus stepped in, now I’m no longer there.

Tag
My life was insane, but I’m no longer there.
My gain was all vain, but I’m no longer there.
My life had no joy, but I’m no longer there.
Jesus stepped in.
