I’m mostly a listener of the older hymns, but the lyrics of this song by Israel Houghton have grown on me…it’s like my life in a verse…everything from depravity to God’s Sovereign grace…I attempted to add scriptures to the parts of the verse…may God be glorified in the Redeeming work of Jesus Christ…

• I was lost.
  • (Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 6:5; Luke 15:24; Ezekiel 34:6; Romans 3:12,23)
