So tell me, what's a man like You
Doing in a place like this?
How can You see any kind of hope
Through all of this mess?

We've tuned You out in every way
And found the truth is whatever that we say
Your sovereign plan we've dismissed
And sealed it all with a kiss
So let me ask You again
What's a man like You
Doing in a place like this?

Nevertheless, You've hear our cries
You've sacrificed
Your name has been glorified
Our sins confessed, our faith addressed
You've saved us nevertheless

Oh, the mess we've made
And oh, the price You've paid

Why do You love us? Why show Your face?
When we're unfaithful You still have faith
What is it that You see in us?
That keeps You from saying 'that's enough'
Oh, Your amazing grace

Nevertheless, You've hear our cries
You've sacrificed
Your name has been glorified
Our sins confessed, our faith addressed
You've saved us nevertheless

If my people called by my name
If they will humble themselves and pray
And seek my face and turn from their sins
Oh, I will hear and forgive them
Nevertheless

And how precious is the throne
That makes me white as snow
Ooh, that I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but
