What Have I Done
Adie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What have I done Lord Jesus
To deserve Your endless love?
What have I done Lord Jesus
To be worthy of Your grace?

What have I done Lord Jesus
To be standing here with You?
What have I done Lord Jesus
To be worthy of You?

For I am nothing yet You love me
I am no one yet You care
You thought of me when You died
What have I done to deserve this love?

And I lay down my will to do Yours until
My life, I give henceforth to live for You alone

For I am nothing yet You love me
I am no one yet You care
You thought of me when You died
What have I done to deserve this love?

What have I done Lord Jesus
To deserve Your endless love?
What have I done Lord Jesus
To be worthy of Your grace?

What have I done Lord Jesus
To be standing here with You?
What have I done Lord Jesus
To be worthy of You?




You made me worthy of You
You made me worthy of You
