Once Again
The Stoneleigh Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again
And once again I look upon the cross where you died
I'm humbled by your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I pour out my life
Pour out our life's to you
Now you are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now I marvel at your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again
Full of praise today
I'm full of praise once again

I have this audio cassette called 'Revive @ Stoneleigh live'. Some of the songs on it were 'Revive us again', 'Praise to the Lord..', Once again, 'I want to be holy, I want to be righteous'. That record is now in a very bad condition (its an audio cassette!). If anyone can point me to a digital version of it, I'll be very grateful. Thank you.
