I came upon the Book of Life/ Where I met the King of Kings/ He asked me what I was living for/ If I knew where I was going/ I found the secret to His heart/ In the story that made me cry/ The way of freedom from this world/ Is through the One I've been grieving
Were You broken for me/ On that cruel Cross on Calvary/ Did You weep for my sin/ On that day?/ Was my guilt torn away/ By the nails that pierced Your precious skin/ Was my life redeemed/ On that day?/ Hallelujah to the King/ Hallelujah/ I'm redeemed
Yet time and time again I reach/ For the idols of this world/ I cling to my indifference/ Though His Grace I already know/ Ashamed to proclaim His amazing love/ To the less privileged than I/ I forget these blessings flowing from/ The one I repeatedly deny
So take my insolence that blinds/ And strip me of my pride/ And pour Your Living Water/ Into the wells that have run dry/ That I may speak of Your victory/ That my death You have died/ No greater love than this in He/ Who layeth down His life
