You Saw Me

You saw me Lord still running scared
Still skulking round with fear
Not knowing if You lived or cared
Not knowing love was near

You saw my tears in the rain
My soul sodden with shame
My heart lamenting hell’s refrain
Yet still You called my name

I heard my God but paid no heed
Believing all was well
Till someone gave Your book to read
Showing my way was hell

Revealing hell and Heaven true
The devil realm is real
What sinners through Your Son can do
To win life’s last appeal

I did my God what’s written there
To Christ I bent my knee
Learning He came my sins to bear
And set my spirit free

I’m free my God through Christ Your Son
I’m saved through blood divine
Through love my worldly battle’s won
And endless life is mine

I live I live but not in dread
But full of joy unknown
No longer do I walk as dead
Filthy and all alone

I’m cleansed by grace through Jesus pure
I’m rich beyond compare
I’ve strength and peace to all endure
And all my God will share
