I was lost I was in chains
The world had a hold of me
My heart was a stone I was covered in shame
When He came for me
I couldn't run couldn't run from His presence
I couldn't run couldn't run from His arms
Jesus He loves me He loves me He is for me
Jesus how can it be He loves me He is for me
It was a fire deep in my soul
I'll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark and into the light
When He called my name
I couldn't run couldn't run from His presence
I couldn't run couldn't run from His arms
Jesus He loves me He loves me He is for me
Jesus how can it be He loves me He is for me
He holds the stars and He holds my heart
With healing hands that bear the scars
The rugged cross where He died for me
My only hope my everything
Jesus He loves me He loves me He is for me
Jesus how can it be He loves me He is for...
Jesus He loves me He loves me He is for me
Jesus how can it be He loves me He is for me
