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
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
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
Oh, what was lost is now redeemed
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
Oh, I know You love me
I know You love me, oh
You never leave me
You never leave me
By my side, You're
By my side, yeah
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?
Who am I that You love me?
Who am I that You saved my soul?
Who am I without You, Lord?
And who am I to be worthy?
Who am I that You're mindful of me?
Who am I that You call me Yours?
Who am I that You love me?
Who am I that You saved my soul?
Who am I without You, Lord?
And who am I to be worthy?
Who am I that You're mindful of me?
Who am I that You call me Yours?
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
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
I know You love me
And the pride of a father
