When I was lost, not knowing Your grace,
not knowing forgiveness for my soul,
You opened Your Truth and I embrace
things, which transform my heart and make me whole.
For if I am Your child, oh my Lord,
if there in me a holy seed
that takes its root in Your Eternal Word,
You guide me and to Your Kingdom lead.
Equipping me with qualities within
that prompt my faith grow, make it strong,
in order to my actions underpin,
grace makes me for You alone to long.
Oh joy, anticipating seeing You!
Who ever can such grace understand?
You take my life, carrying it through
all earthly perils, to this safe land.
Beyond my understanding and beyond
my hopes that I dared to express,
You make me to Your nation to belong
by rescuing my life from all mess.
A place for me in heaven You reserved
By paying with Your blood for all my sins,
and giving a new life, not deserved,
so when I die, my life just begins.
