Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I knew You I was Your own
You took me in and called me Yours
and made my heart Your own
You drew me up out of the deep
to the deepest part You speak
You saw treasure where I saw shame
For I know, that You gave it all for me
Took every part of my heart and made it whole again
for I know that You gave it all for me
There's nothing I can saw to make You go away
Cause You chose me
You chose me
You rewrite all my mistakes
With Your love and righteousness
By of blood that was shed
I stand in holiness
For I know that You gave it all for me
Took every part of my heart and made it whole again
For I know that You gave it for me
There's nothing I can saw to make You go away cause You chose me
I'm alive in You
I belong to You
I'm alive in You
I belong to You
I'm alive in You
I belong to You
I'm alive in You
I belong to Jesus
I belong to You
For I know that You gave it all for me
Took every part of my heart and made it whole again
For I know that You gave it all for me
There nothing I can saw to make You go away
Cause You chose me
