I listen to a preacher speak of true love and grace
He says he yearns to look upon Your face
He yearns to stare deep into Your tender eyes
And see the Light of the One who for him died
Why Lord,
Did You give a sinner what this good man desires?
Why Lord,
Did You set this blackened heart on fire?
Who was I, when I stood in the crowd of the falling?
Who was I, but yet another who'd not heard Your calling?
Just a shadow, another sheep headed for the slaughter
Yet You reached out to me and called me Your daughter
Why Lord,
Did You give this sinner what a good man desires?
Why Lord,
Did You set this blackened heart on fire?
Blessed Christ, You came to me
Taught me how to see
And oh, how the scales fell from these eyes
But I wasn't prepared
For what I would see there
You hung on my cross, with martyrs at Your side
I fell to my knees; fell to the floor
Didn't want to be a filthy sinner anymore
There was shame in my heart, and I trembled with fear
I wanted to run away, 'cos You were too pure to go near
Why Lord,
Did Your eyes pierce mine that fateful night?
Why Lord,
Were You willing to give this blind girl sight?
Blessed are these eyes, oh Lord
To have looked upon Your face
Blessed is this soul, oh Lord
To have known Your saving grace
And blessed is this heart
To bear these flames of love
Flames that burn only for You
Most merciful King above
Blessed Christ, You came to me
Taught me how to see
And oh, how the scales fell from these eyes
But I wasn't prepared
For what I would see there
You hung on my cross with martyrs at Your side
Blessed Christ, You came to me
Taught me how to see
And oh, how the scales fell from these eyes
But I wasn't prepared
For what I would see there
You hung on my cross with martyrs at Your side

Wonderful. These are song lyrics? If they aren't, they should be. Good to see another Christian on the site. Are you new? Welcome!
I'm Stitch.
