we were far from you

before time began

the world was never meant

to carry all our sin

before we ran away

and lost what you had made

you planned to take our place

on the cross

you died so we could be alive

and you sought to bring us home

we were far from you

and nothing in this world could fill us up

but you brought us back

before we could come

and kneel before your throne

you had to send your son

you saw us in our need

you came to make us clean

you bled to set us free

on the cross

you died so we could be alive

and you fought to bring us home

we were far from you

and nothing in this world could fill us up

but you brought us back

filled with your love

it's christ in us

free by the blood of your son
