Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were guilty and undone
When Your love reached down with sovereign hands
And beckoned us to come
You sought out the wanderers
Made the prodigals come home
With a lavish feast You welcomed us
You have loved us like You love Your Son
We are heirs with Christ, bought by His blood
Oh how great the love that we've been shown
We're Your children now, You made us Your own
We are strangers to the world
But no strangers to Your throne
We draw near You now with confidence
For all our fears are gone
And when Christ our King returns
We'll meet saints we've never known
And forever we will be amazed
That You made us Your own

We were ruined in our sin
We were in a state of utter destruction due to our sins
We were guilty and undone
We were at fault and without hope
When Your love reached down with sovereign hands
When Your divine love reached out to us
And beckoned us to come
And called us to come to You
You sought out the wanderers
You searched for those who were lost
Made the prodigals come home
And brought those who had gone astray back to You
With a lavish feast You welcomed us
You welcomed us with open arms and abundant blessings
For You made us Your own
Because You have claimed us as Your own
You have loved us like You love Your Son
You have loved us with the same intensity as You love Your Son
We are heirs with Christ, bought by His blood
We are beneficiaries with Christ, purchased by His blood
Oh how great the love that we've been shown
The love that we have received is immeasurably great
We're Your children now, You made us Your own
We are now Your beloved children because You have chosen us
We are strangers to the world
We are not part of this world
But no strangers to Your throne
But we are not strangers to Your authority
We draw near You now with confidence
We now approach You boldly and assuredly
For all our fears are gone
Because all our fears have been dispelled
And when Christ our King returns
When our Lord and Savior, Christ, returns
We'll meet saints we've never known
We will meet other believers whom we have never met before
And forever we will be amazed
And we will be amazed for eternity
That You made us Your own
That You have claimed us as Your beloved children
