No day of my life has passed that has not
Proved me guilty in your sight
The best I have to offer are these filthy rags
And yet you love me
All things in me call for my rejection
All things in You plead my acceptance
I am guilty but pardoned by grace I've been set free
I am ransomed through the blood you shed for me
I was dead in my transgressions, but life you brought to me
I am reconciled through m e r c y,
to the cross I cling
No more am I a slave to sin but
Bought with a price
Redemption that was purchased through the blessed cross
That You bore for me
The cross is where I find death, is where I find life, where mercy found me
Here is a little background of the song from the authors point of view:
