I am guilty
Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become
These hands are dirty
I dare not lift them up to the Holy One
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life to give me mine
You say that I am free, how can it be, yeah?
How can it be?
I've been hiding
Afraid I've let You down
Inside, I doubt that You still love me
But in Your eyes, there's only grace now
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave your life to give me mine
You say that I am free, how can it be, yeah?
How can it be You?
Though I fall, You can make me new
From this death I will rise with You
Oh, the grace reaching out for me, yeah
How can it be?
How can it be?
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life to give me mine
You say that I am free, yeah
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life to give me mine
You say that I am free, how can it be, yeah?
How can it be, yeah?
Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become
These hands are dirty
I dare not lift them up to the Holy One
You plead my cause
You right my wrongs
You break my chains
You overcome
You gave Your life to give me mine
You say that I am free, how can it be, yeah?
How can it be?
I've been hiding
Afraid I've let You down
Inside, I doubt that You still love me

You say that I am free, how can it be, yeah?
