Halo: Saved by grace [lyrics]

Halo

Saved by grace

(Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23)

I grew up believing

In the simple things of life

Go to school, get a job

Settle down with a wife

Never asked for anything

I couldn't get on my own

'Til the day I met Jesus

On that dusty road home

I remember crying out

"My Lord, my God

Forgive me of my sin"

Then the tears began to fall

It seems all of heaven

Just took me in

Like a long-lost child

It took me in

CHORUS

Saved by Grace

Now I know my life was worth dying for

Jesus paid the price

To give new life to a man like me

Saved by Grace

I'll never understand a love like this

I'm crying in the night

Thankful for the love that He gave

I went to church on Sunday

Wore a smile upon my face

Sang along with all the music

Threw a dollar in the plate

Never thought about no Heaven

All I knew was raisin' Hell

Then along came Jesus

And took me to the well

For the first time in my life

I swallowed my pride

I got down on my knees

Then I began to cry

As I realized He died for me

On a lonely tree

He died for me

CHORUS

I remember crying out

"My Lord, My God

Forgive me of my sin"

Then the tears began to fall

That's when heaven took me in

Like a long-lost child

It took me in

Saved by Grace

Now I know my life was worth dying for

Jesus paid the price

To give new life to a man like me

Saved by Grace

The world has never known a love like this

There's nothing I could do on my own

I'm saved by Grace
