Song Lyrics

---

God, I know that Your mercy
Comes all undeserving
That You choose to pick me up when I fall
God, I still don’t understand
Why You reach out Your hand
When sometimes there’s nothing good in me at all
Oh, how can this be
My God, I wonder why You love me

It must have been
The lost look in my eyes
It must have been
All the tears that I cried
It must have been
All the years that I tried
To live life alone
But You’ve called me Your own
And maybe that’s just who You are
That my need of You would captivate Your heart

God, You pour out Your mercy
Though I’m unworthy
And You choose to answer me when I call
Though I may not understand
Somehow You became man
Died to take my sin, not just one, but them all
Oh, how can this be
It’s such a wonder that You love me

It must have been
The lost look in my eyes
It must have been
All the tears that I cried
It must have been
All the years that I tried
To live life alone
But You’ve called me Your own
And maybe that’s just who You are
That my need of You would captivate Your heart

It must have been the way
That every day
I knew something was missing
It must have been the times
I was so surprised
To find that You were listening

It must have been
The lost look in my eyes
It must have been
All the tears that I cried
It must have been
All the years that I tried
To live life alone
But You’ve called me Your own
And maybe that’s just who You are
That my need of You would captivate Your heart
