An enemy of God, so cold within
So far off, and full of shame
Captivated by the world and all the claims it made
When I was yet a sinner, you died for me
When I was full of darkness, you put your light in me
When I was yet a captive, you set me free
It was love that conquered me
Dead at heart, sin was bliss
Taken captive by the grip of unrighteousness
Then at once, that grip released
By the mighty hand of God, now I′m free indeed
When I was yet a sinner, you died for me
When I was full of darkness, you put your light in me
When I was yet a captive, you set me free
It was love that conquered me
You took my shame and you turned it to gladness
You had your way and you made me your home
I don't deserve all your mercy and kindness
Thank you, God, you made me your own
You took my shame and you turned it to gladness
You had your way and you made me your home
I don′t deserve all your mercy and kindness
Thank you, God, you made me your own
Christ alone atoned for sin
This I'll never understand because of who I've been
Now I stand by grace alone
Awaiting that day when Christ will take me home
When I was yet a sinner, you died for me
When I was full of darkness, you put your light in me
When I was yet a captive, you set me free
It was love that conquered me
It was love that conquered me
It was love that conquered me
It was love that conquered me
