Here I stand. I’m hearin’
somethin’ that my ears have never heard before.
And that seems strange
’cause the words in my head are so close to my heart.
Could it be that these are the words
that I’ve been searching for so long?
There are words of promise.
There are words of forgiveness for all that I have done.
And they tell me
that I can find it all in Jesus Christ the Son,
who died that I might have life.
He sacrificed Himself – forgiving.
You tell me don’t be such a fool!
Play it cool! Don’t you fall
for those words in your ear!
But being the fool I’ve always been,
I will give my life to Him.
’Cause He gave His love to me.
And as I receive Him
like a stone that has fallen, my heart is free at last.
The bondage
that held me so long has vanished with the past.
Through these words that met my ear
I found that what was missing was Jesus.
You tell me don’t be such a fool!
Play it cool! Don’t you fall
for those words in your ear!
But being the fool I’ve always been,
I will give my life to Him.
’Cause He gave His love to me.
But being the fool I’ve always been,
I will give my life to Him.
’Cause He gave His love to me.
But being the fool I’ve always been,
I will give my life to Him.
