You Are Lord

(verse 1)
I thought because I left you and went my own way
Got lost in the world that’s where I deserved to stay
I pictured you up on high ready to cast me away
But it’s not at all that way
(chorus 1)
You forgave me and took me in your arm
And told me that you love me
And the angels rejoiced in heaven
Then you put my name in the Lamb’s book of life
My mind can’t comprehend such mercy as your own
But I thank you and I know that you are Lord
(verse 2)
I thought through my deception and my heart becoming hard
That in coming back to you my words you would discard
But unworthy as I was and unfaithful though I’d been
Your heart was moved with love and you took me back again
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
You are Lord, You left your home in glory
You are Lord, To bear the cross for me
You forgave, my Jesus, and you are Lord
You are Lord, I sing to you a new song
You are Lord, You paid for all my wrongs
You forgave me, You forgave me and you are Lord
Jesus you are Lord
