I retreated once again and ran to my sinfulness
And only felt emptiness
Without You there
I heard your voice calling and simply rejected it
And disrespected it
Without a care

And Lord, I know Your tender mercies fall like rain
But how long will Your forgiveness be greater than Your pain?
I know Your grace is all-sufficient, but how can it be?
Your love for me, Jesus, is such a mystery

Free me
From myself and my sin and my shame
Free me
I want to abandon my life to you, Jesus and love you forever and ever
So free me

There’s been times of still waters when my heart belonged to You
And I sang my songs to You
Of joy and peace
But distractions always came to take that away from me
Yet still you paid for me
To give me release

So Lord, I need Your providence to take control
And heal my broken and contrite heart to refresh my soul
I know that you alone are able to redeem me from my past
And provide that only healing that will last

Free me
From myself and my sin and my shame
Free me
I want to abandon my life to you, Jesus and love you forever and ever
So free me
