How Can It Be
Grace Unveiled: Redemption in 'How Can It Be'
Lyrics
I am guilty
I feel a sense of guilt within myself
Ashamed of what I've done, what I've become
I am ashamed of my actions and the person I have become
These hands are dirty
My hands are stained with wrongdoing
I dare not lift them up to the Holy one
I hesitate to raise my hands in the presence of the Holy one (God)
You plead my cause
You advocate for me
You right my wrongs
You correct my mistakes
You break my chains
You liberate me from my burdens
You overcome
You triumph over challenges and obstacles
You gave Your life
You sacrificed Your life
To give me mine
So that I may have my own life
You say that I am free
You declare that I am free
How can it be
Expressing wonder at the reality of freedom
How can it be
Reiterating the astonishment at the gift of freedom
I've been hiding
I've been concealing my true self
Afraid I've let you down, inside I doubt
Fearful that I have disappointed You, harboring doubts
That You still love me
Doubting that Your love for me still exists
But in Your eyes there's only grace now
Yet, in Your eyes, there is only grace now
You plead my cause
You continue to advocate for me
You right my wrongs
You rectify my wrongdoings
You break my chains
You release me from my shackles
You overcome
You overcome challenges on my behalf
You gave Your life
You sacrificed Your life
To give me mine
So that I may have my own life
You say that I am free
You affirm that I am free
How can it be
Expressing wonder at the reality of freedom
How can it be
Reiterating the astonishment at the gift of freedom
Though I fall, You can make me new
Despite my failures, You have the power to transform me anew
From this death I will rise with You
From spiritual death, I will experience resurrection with You
Oh, the grace reaching out for me
Embracing the grace that is reaching out to me
How can it be
Expressing wonder at the reality of grace
How can it be
Reiterating the astonishment at the gift of grace
You plead my cause
You continue to advocate for me
You right my wrongs
You rectify my wrongdoings
You break my chains
You release me from my shackles
You overcome
You overcome challenges on my behalf
You gave Your life
You sacrificed Your life
To give me mine
So that I may have my own life
You say that I am free
You affirm that I am free
You plead my cause
You continue to advocate for me
You right my wrongs
You rectify my wrongdoings
You break my chains
You release me from my shackles
You overcome
You overcome challenges on my behalf
You gave Your life
You sacrificed Your life
To give me mine
So that I may have my own life
You say that I am free
You affirm that I am free
How can it be
Expressing wonder at the reality of freedom
How can it be
Reiterating the astonishment at the gift of freedom
