You are the One
Ruler of heaven and earth
Given a name
High above all other names
And all things made
Were made by You
And I am so amazed
I belong to You
How could One, could one so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But as I, as I go deeper
I know I can be certain
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
You came down
Lived as the least of all men
You suffered and died
Bearing unbearable shame
Now here in the shadow of Your cross
You wash me clean
Of all I'm guilty of
How could One, could one so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But as I, as I go deeper
I know I can be certain
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
How can On, One so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But should I
Leave You out day by day
Lord, remind me
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You
