I had a million scars buried in regrets
Hidden in the dark, I was filled with emptiness
That's when You found me
God, Your love moved in and made my heart Your home
Every broken piece, it belongs to You alone
Oh, this is Your house
Oh-oh-ohh, God, this is Your house
Shame doesn't live here anymore
It doesn't live here anymore
Oh, Jesus, You paid it all
And now Your grace is mine forevermore
I lift my hands 'cause I am Yours
Hallelujah, shame doesn't live here anymore
All there was before mercy has erased
Everything is new, overwhelmed by Your embrace
I am forgiven
Oh-oh-ohh, I stand forgiven
Shame doesn't live here anymore
It doesn't live here anymore
Oh, Jesus, You paid it all
And now Your grace is mine forevermore
I lift my hands 'cause I am Yours
Hallelujah, shame doesn't live here anymore
All because of Your love, all because of Your love
I know I am free, I know I am free
All because of the cross, all because of the cross
I know I am free, I know I am free
I know!
Hey, shame doesn't live here anymore
It doesn't live here anymore
Oh, Jesus, You paid it all
And now Your grace is mine forevermore
I lift my hands 'cause I am Yours
Hallelujah, shame doesn't live here anymore!
Doesn't live here anymore, no-o
Shame doesn't live here anymore!
