Crying did I come into a world that was broken,
Describes the speaker entering a troubled world
Hopelessly lost in sin,
Feeling lost and trapped in sin
Woefully undone, wretched and naked,
Feeling utterly ruined and exposed
Oh, the shame of my skin,
Expresses shame or embarrassment
Then you came searching after me,
Describes a divine search for the speaker
Lord you found me in deepest need,
God found the speaker in great need
cnd I don't know what you saw in me,
Wondering why God chose the unworthy speaker
So unworthy, you cleansed my sin,
Despite unworthiness, God forgave and cleansed the speaker's sin
You didn't leave me forsaken.
Assurance that God didn't abandon the speaker

You didn't throw me away and I'm grateful,
Gratitude for not being discarded by God
Lord I'm grateful for your love today,
Expressing gratitude for God's love in the present
It's more than my heart can say,
Unable to fully express the depth of gratitude
How I'm grateful, oh so grateful,
Continued gratitude and appreciation
You didn't throw my life away.
Reaffirmation of not being abandoned by God

Shifts to a different phase in the speaker's life
Worthy now I stand in the midst of your glory,
Feeling worthy now in the presence of God's glory
Only through Christ's righteousness,
Attributing worthiness only to Christ's righteousness
Worthy is the Lamb. Only you could have saved me,
Acknowledging God's role in salvation
Lord I praise your holiness,
Praising God's holiness
Wondrous grace, wondrous love for me,
Describing the amazing grace and love received
Love that changed my heart and set me free,
Love that transformed and liberated the speaker
Of my praise of my song to thee,
Offering praise and song to God
You are worthy, you died for me,
Acknowledging God's worthiness and sacrifice
Then you rose to live in me,
Referring to Christ's resurrection and dwelling within the speaker
