Lyrics
Verse 1
I was walking
Getting nearer
To the place where
I was forgiven
You were waiting
With an answer
I was taking
Second chances
Then You came
Into my life
Chorus
It's "the me"
I want to be
Lost in Your presence
Found at Your feet
It's "the me"
I want to be
Living every day
Just to hear You say
"Well done"
Verse 2
In the trials
That have faced me
You're the One that
Has embraced me
All the valleys
I will go through
You're the One that
I will run to
Lord I trust You
With my life
Bridge
Here's the part where we want to say
"Thank You Lord"
Here's the part where we want to say
"Thank You Lord"
We love You
We need You
We stumble
You free us
I'm Grateful
Forgiven
No longer
A prisoner!
My burdens
You've taken
No longer
Forsaken
As long as I'm able
Your name I will praise!
