Countless times, I've wondered why
You choose to love me
In the midst of fear and doubt
You stand with me
Endless reasons I could cite
Why I'm not worthy
You You've never even once reminded me
No longer dead, I am alive
The greatest gift, the highest prize
Your love ran red to wash me white
Where would I be if not for Christ?
Why do I struggle so with You beside me?
Emotions wage and fears wage war
Though you still hold me
But now I see I should not seek
A perfect journey
Just the narrow path Your love reveals to me
No longer dead, I am alive
The greatest gift, the highest prize
Your love ran red to wash me white
Where would I be if not for Christ?
My shame is gone, my sin erased
When justice called, you took my place
Your love ran red to wash me white
Where would I be if not for Christ?
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
The things You have prepared for those who love You
No mind can see, no thoughts have birthed
The goodness of your plans for those who love you
Oh, no eye has seen, no ear has heard
The things You have prepared for those who love You
Yeah, no mind can see, no thoughts have birthed
The goodness of your plans for those who love you
No longer dead, I am alive
The greatest gift, the highest prize
Your love ran red to wash me white
Where would I be if not for Christ?
Where would I be if not for Christ?
