If I Called Upon Your Name |
LyricsIf you looked into my eyesAnd all you saw was rain Pouring down the windows to my soul If I opened up my broken life And all you saw was pain Would you pick the pieces up and make me whole? Would you hold me in your arms Until only love remains And would you help me find the strength to start again... If I called upon your name Then lay your hands upon me now Shine your love upon my face Cast my demons out Save me with your grace Shower me with light And wash away my shame Will I find redemption after all If I call upon your name {BRIDGE} It took forty years of dying to get it through my head God so loved the world he gave his only Son When I think of how you died for me two thousand years ago It makes me wonder what I would have done...what would I have done? If I saw you in the courtyard With scars upon your face Would I have tried to save you from the crowd And would I have stayed beside you If I stood in their place Or Got down on my knees and cried out loud And in that moment on the cross When your last breath finally came Would I have known you were the Son of God And called upon your name Lord lay your hands upon me now Shine your love upon my face Cast my demons out Save me with your grace Shower me with light And wash away my shame Will I find redemption after all If I call upon your name Shower me with light Until I have no blame... Thank God I found redemption after all When I called upon your name |
