Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to draw near to You
But You clothed Yourself
with frail humanity
You did not wait for me
to cry out to You
But You let me hear Your Voice
calling me
I'm Forever Grateful for The Cross
I'm Forever Grateful to You
That You came to seek and save the lost
