What I Was

What have I got to lose that I haven't already lost?
What could I seek to gain where I haven't paid the cost?
Man tried to touch this place
But could not remove the stain
So here I am broken
Yearning for a taste of.....

Mercy that enfolds me in arms of love
No matter where I've been or who I was
Forgive the sins of my soul because
I have nowhere to go
And You alone must know
What I was

How great the Love of the One
Who see through eyes above
Beyond the sin and shame  
He knows my name
And by mercy's touch He raises me up
To forgive and to love the same

Where else can I go
You alone have the words of Life
The breath of my soul
You make all things beautiful in time

Mercy that enfolds me in arms of love
No matter where I've been or who I was
Forgive the sins of my soul because
No one believes
And you alone can see
What I'll be
What I'll be
What I'll be......
