My soul was in darkness from birth
Unable to find meaning on earth
Yet through all of my days You were there
Though nature told of Your fame
Finally You spoke and called me by name
Now You're my end and beginning
Father of mercy to me
You're my God
You will always be
Though You live in the light
You reach down through the dark of my night
You're my God
You will always be
With a word You erase all my guilt, then embrace me
And take me as Your very own
You're my God
How can I try to express
All that I feel, but I must confess
As Your wonder pours over my soul
You know every secret in me
Yet graciously clothe me in Your purity
Now I can soar in Your freedom
Safe in the arms of Your love
Sing songs to me
Play me the strains of Your love
The hope of Your cross makes me sing
