Song Lyrics

---

I was battered and dirty
I was only running from myself
You were perfect and holy
But You chose to empty Yourself
And something about my need
Moved You to rescue me

What is this love
That sees my stains
And loves me anyway
What is this love
That breaks my chains
By taking my place
What kind of God becomes a man
Lets someone put nails in His hands
All this to simply make me new
What is this love in You

Somehow I feel so safe here
I can feel You hold me in Your arms
So in awe that You’re so near
And it’s just one of Your many charms
Lord, all of You draws me in
That You took away my sin

What is this love
That sees my stains
And loves me anyway
What is this love
That breaks my chains
By taking my place
What kind of God becomes a man
Lets someone put nails in His hands
All this to simply make me new
What is this love in You

Oh, who is like You, God
Who would dare to love so deep
Oh, who have I but You, God
I pray forever my soul You’ll keep
‘Cause all I want is You
And the mystery of this truth

What is this love
That sees my stains
And loves me anyway
What is this love
That breaks my chains
By taking my place
What kind of God becomes a man
Lets someone put nails in His hands
All this to simply make me new
What is this love in You
