Song Lyrics

---

See these shackles bound on my hands
See these broken bones, I cannot stand
See this empty heart, I can't reach for You
Dead as I am, there's nothing I can do

So reach down and set me free
In all the world, only You can see
I can't ask You to love me
But I know that You do and I know You
Will set aside Your crown and reach down

I was broken, I was battered and lost
I was searching for a bridge I had not crossed
In all my searching I didn't know it was You
Who did more for me than I could ever do

You reached down and set me free
In all the world You alone can see
I didn't ask You to love me
But I know that You do, now I know You
You set aside Your crown to reach down

You became the one who came to save the lost
You became the bridge I needed to cross
You bought the key to set me free
Healed me so I could stand
All I had to do was trust in You
You took my life in Your hands

You reached down and set me free
Opened my eyes so I could see
That all along You have loved me
Now I know that You love us enough to
Have set aside Your crown to reach down
