I wasn't born two thousand years ago

To witness the miracles You've performed

But You, O God, remains the same

Today and forever as yesterday

I'm one of Your miracles these days

A sinner You've turned into a saint.

My heart of stone, You've broken

Replacing it with a heart of flesh

But I'm still just a little confused

Saved was I, yet I felt unsure

Do I really deserve to be with You?

Or be in hell, forever doomed?

My eyes refused to see

The signs You've sent me

My ears refused to hear

Your warnings about sin

My mind refused to think

About what You've promised

My body refused to do

All things that please You

Upon these, I continue to ponder

As the sense of guilt increases

My sins' burden weighs heavier

As I fall into temptation again

I sinned, defied Your command

Violated Your authority, o God

I rebelled against Your majesty

How can I deserve Your mercy?

You proved You're full of mercy

Without putting aside Your justice

I deserved to be in the fiery pit

But You won't throw me into it

You easily changed my thoughts

And reminded me of the Cross

Your justice for me, Jesus has satisfied

Your love's revealed through His sacrifice

In my place, He took the punishment

He suffered and His blood was shed

At the cross, He was ruthlessly crucified

For my sins, He, who without sin, died

I can't imagine how much more He suffered

When He was buried at the belly of the earth

He was there, for three days and three nights

To save me, He conquered hell's eternal fire.
