You
G.P.I Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was conceived in sin
A rebel enemy of God
With a heart of stone
Hostile towards the things above
If You should mark iniquity
O Lord, none could stand
O wretched man I am
Who could save me from this death

Forgiveness is found in You
Redemption we cannot lose
O Lord, may You be feared
Abounding in steadfast love
Merciful You are to us
O Lord, may You be feared
I have been called by You
Predestined as a child of God
A heart of flesh
Now living for the Lord above
If Christ is within me
O Lord, I can stand
How unsearchable it is
That You would save me from this death
Forgiveness is found in You
Redemption we cannot lose
O Lord, may You be feared
Abounding in steadfast love
Merciful You are to us
O Lord, may You be feared
There is no other name by which we're saved
No other name that we'll praise
But Jesus
There is no other name by which we're saved
No other name that we'll praise
But Jesus
We praise You, Jesus
Forgiveness is found in You
Redemption we cannot lose
O Lord, may You be feared
Abounding in steadfast love
Merciful You are to us
O Lord, may You be feared
There is no other name by which we're saved
No other name that we'll praise
But Jesus
There is no other name by which we're saved
No other name that we'll praise

But Jesus
We praise You, Jesus
