When I was young You called my name
I tried to run, but still You came
And You stepped into the dark
Cause that's just the kind of God You are
When heaven seems beyond my reach
You still see eternity in me
You're turning ashes into art
Cause that's just the kind of God You are
It's in the empty tomb
It's on the rugged cross
Your death-defying love
Is written in Your scars
You'll never quit on me
You'll always hold my heart
Cause that's the kind of God You are
You gave me freedom from my sin
You told me I could start again
All the hurt is dead and gone
Now we're Your daughters and Your sons
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
We once were lost but now we're found
Forever You hold us in Your arms
Cause that's just the kind of God You are
It's in the empty tomb
It's on the rugged cross
Your death-defying love
Is written in Your scars
You'll never quit on me
You'll always hold my heart
Cause that's the kind of God You are
You are Holy Holy Holy
High and set apart
You are Holy Holy Holy
God that's who You are
You are Holy Holy Holy
High and set apart
You are Holy Holy Holy
God that's who You are
It's in the empty tomb
It's on the rugged cross
Your death-defying love
Is written in Your scars
You'll never quit on me
You'll always hold my heart
Cause that's the kind of God You are
It's in the empty tomb
It's on the rugged cross
Your death-defying love
Is written in Your scars
You'll never quit on me
You'll always hold my heart
Cause that's the kind of God You are
When I was young You called my name
I tried to run, but still You came
And You stepped into the dark
Cause that's just the kind of God You are
