Hillsong Young & Free's song reflects on God's unconditional love and acceptance. The lyrics contrast human effort with God's desire for the heart, referencing the prodigal son story to illustrate grace and redemption.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I could run a thousand miles

To win the race of life

But what?s the value

Without You


I could write a thousand psalms

To captivate Your heart

But more than offerings

Lord You seek the depths of me


CHORUS:

When You see me

You see my heart

Through the eyes of Your mercy

In the light of Your Son

You love me

With open arms

And the pride of a father


VERSE 2:

I was once a prodigal

Burdened by my shame

Till You came running

To remind me


Your love is unconditional

And in Your eyes I?m worthy of

Forgiveness

What was lost is now redeemed


BRIDGE:

Who am I that You love me

Who am I that You saved my soul

Who am I without You Lord


Who am I to be worthy

Who am I that You?re mindful of me

Who am I that You call me Yours
