Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Astounded
Simply blown away
By Your Love
And mercy
This gift that You called Grace
When I think of how You brought me
From such a mighty long way
They fade
I'm amazed at the way
That You love me
Even even when I turn away
How can I ever repay
The price You paid for me
Was for me
I′m amazed
I'm astounded
Simply blown away
By Your Love and mercy
This gift that You call grace
When I think of how You brought me
From mighty long way
Somehow these words they fade
I'm amazed at the way
That You love me
Even when I turn away (even when I turn away)
How can I ever repay
The price You paid for me
For me
It′s such a mystery
This love for me
This love for me
Oh what a miracle
This love for me
This love for me
It′s such a mystery
This love for me
This love for me
Oh what a miracle
This love for me
This love for me
It's such a mystery
This love for me
This love for me
Oh what a miracle
This love for me
This love for me
I′m amazed at the way
That You love me
Even when I turn away
How can I ever repay
The price You paid for me
Was for me
Your goodness and mercy
Gonna follow me everyday
Your goodness and mercy
Gonna follow me everyday
Your goodness and mercy
Gonna follow me everyday
Your goodness and your mercy
Follows me everyday
In the song "You Saved the Day" by Freddy Rodriguez, the singer expresses his amazement and gratitude for the love and mercy he has received from God. The lyrics suggest that he has been saved from a difficult situation or from a life of hardship, and that he feels overwhelmed by God's grace. The opening lines of the song, "I'm amazed, astounded, simply blown away, by your love and mercy, this gift that you called grace," set the tone for the rest of the song, which is full of expressions of wonder and awe.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on his own failings and shortcomings, acknowledging that even when he turns away from God, God continues to love him. He asks, "How can I ever repay the price you paid for me?" This line is a reference to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, which Christians believe was made to atone for the sins of humanity.
