Story behind the song
This was another instrumental that I was able to fit words into. The verses came to me at work one day while I was sitting in the lab babysitting a large scale structural test of a propeller hub. I never figured that to be a creative setting before that day.
An early song that violates many of the rules of rhyming, but I didn't know there were rules back then.
Vocals nicely done by fellow church member Heather Cherico.

You Came
Lyrics by Steve Pasakarnis © 2007
Verse 1
You came looking and You found me,
But Your grace I chose to ignore,
I took all the blessings You gave for free,
Never recognizing how poor
I was then
CHORUS
You came back from the grave like You said,
Bearing up the cross You died in our stead,
You came down from heaven to rescue me,
1 Through Your precious gift I now have, immense wealth, in You
2,4 Through Your precious gift You have now, set me free
3 Through Your precious gift I am now free
Verse 2
You came reaching out, and this time,
I learned what I just had not seen,
My life has a path, my soul is at rest,
Now I know for what I had yearned,
Life in You
CHORUS
Instrumental
Verse 3
You came bearing the gift of life,
Never asking for a reward,
How can one deny the gift You gave,
That was meant to point us all tow’rd,
Life anew
CHORUS 2X
You came to me, You, Jesus
You came to be, my Savior
You came to me, You, Jesus
You came for me . . . .
