Lyrics
A Cold Rebel Verse 1: You saw the darkness in my heart, And came running through the night. My soul was lost in the depths of this world, Desires had stolen my sight. You knew that I would never let go, Still You gave Your life for me. A freedom I could never have known, Yet Your love, Lord, lifted me. Pre-Chorus: Oh, what kind of God are You, Lord To love me knowing I turned from You? What kind of love is this, Lord To chase me though I ran from truth? Chorus: You turned a heart of stone to a grateful cloud, Let Your mercy rain and heal the ground. You turned a cold rebel to a child redeemed, Filled my heart with joy now I believe. Verse 2: When the world was teaching me to hate, You came and changed my fate. You did it all with Your light. When the world said, “Fight with the sword, You said, “Stand firm in My Word, You did it all with Your light. Now every scar becomes a sign, Of the grace that conquered mine. Once I was lost, but now I’m found Your love keeps raining down. *Pre-Chorus - Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari. Written, Produced and Performed by Richard Shekari.
