I’m swept away by the wonder
Of Your love
How One so great could love
This one so small
And when I realise the distance
Between Your heart and mine
I’m amazed when You call me
To Your side
I come to You
Not in my own strength
But in weakness
I embrace the One who’s strong
I come to You
To glory in Your grace
You’ve accepted me
In my frailty
So in humility
I come to You
I stand in awe at the power
Of Your grace
How One so great would
Suffer in my place
And when I realise the difference
Between Your thoughts and mine
I’m amazed when You call me
To Your side
I surrender all I am
Lay my heart within Your hand
Knowing in my weakness
You are strong
I come to You
Not in my own strength
But in weakness
I embrace this One so strong
I come to You
To glory in Your grace
You’ve accepted me
In my frailty
So in humility
