Blessed

I run away over and over again

I run as fast as I possibly can,

but You always catch me.

No matter how fast I may be.

 

It never matters how far I try to go.

In the end I may never really know

just what lengths You'll go to catch me.

I may be blind, but You have made me see!!!

 

I am blessed to be the man I am.

I am blessed to find you again.

Nothing can keep You from me.

I only hope that in me...it's You they see.

 

I haven't exactly been a righteous man.

Behind closed doors, You see all of my sin,

but still You choose to come after me

even as I sat at the cross and watched You bleed.

 

I am blessed to be the man I am.

I am blessed to find you again.

Nothing can keep You from me.

I only hope that in me...it's You they see.

 

I beat You down.

I put the crown upon Your brow.

I hammered the nails into Your hands and feet...

but You prayed for me.

 

I hung You there.

I whipped Your skin away piece by piece.

I pushed the spear in so deep,

but You died for me.

 

I hit my knees.

I know what I did as I weep.

Oh for all of sins You've seen...

please forgive me!

 

I am blessed to be the man I am.

I am blessed to find you again.

Nothing can keep You from me.

I only hope that in me...it's You they see.

Through all of my sin and shame You still carry me!

Jesus I pray that in me...it's You they see.
