Lyrics:

[English]

I am guilty Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become

These hands are dirty I dare not lift them up to the Holy one

You plead my cause You right my wrongs

You break my chains You overcome

You gave Your life To give me mine

You say that I am free How can it be

How can it be I've been hiding

Afraid I've let you down, inside I doubt That You could love me

But in Your eyes there's only grace now You plead my cause

You right my wrongs You break my chains

You overcome You gave Your life

To give me mine You say that I am free

How can it be How can it be

Though I fall, You can make me new From this death I will rise with You

Oh the grace reaching out for me How can it be

How can it be You plead my cause

You right my wrongs You break my chains

You overcome You gave Your life

To give me mine You say that I am free

You plead my cause You right my wrongs

You break my chains You overcome

You gave Your life To give me mine

You say that I am free How can it be

How can it be
