Saving me

I stood beside the road that day

In disbelief you passed my way

Not recognized behind the red

Pooling beneath your thorn crowned head

Their mercy lost upon you great

Striking you down in heavy hate

 You slowed, you stopped, you looked around

That's when my heart did hear the sound

It rumbled deep within my soul

And overtook my spirit whole

That moment when you saw me there

I felt the sin I could not bear

A stifled scream I could not cry

Not fair that you would surely die

There on the hill the cross now stood

Your hands, your feet now one with wood

And drawing strength within your breath

You took upon my rightful death

My face now buried in the ground

Feeling so lost and wanting found

The innocence of life now laid

The price of sin my Savior paid

A love so full, so great must be 

Amazing grace His gift to me
