Even Me

Verse 1:
I stood there mortified
Before You, O Lord
Because I was Naked and Exposed
My heart was terrified
As you thundered Your Laws
I had no defense, no excuse
For you to remove the noose from around my neck
I was at the end of my rope


Verse 2:
One by one, you scrutinized
My wretched, sinful ways
And I had no recourse
With each new word I realized
my sins with great remorse
But knowing that You, are holy and just
i knew that I must pay the price
For eternity


Bridge:
My head sank low I was all alone
with no redress, in my distress
What had I done against this Holy God
I had transgressed His holy law
I stood condemned by my own sin
And here I was…at my own end?


Verse 3:
Then I awoke, from my dream
To the preaching of Your Word
And I was haunted by Your Ghost
(Sung to Bridge Tune)
What I heard was bliss, That your righteousness
Had replaced a people’s Wickedness
(Back to Verse Tune)
And that You’d receive all those who believe
By your Spirit’s call including me
(Oh, and Lord, Precious Lord, I believe) Now I believe
