You Saved the Day
Freddy Rodriguez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m amazed
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
Somehow these words
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
