[Rock guitar lead in, with rock band playing behind. The melody of the lead in should be based on the melody of the third and fourth lines of the verses.] [VERSE 1] If I had it all to do again I would give my life to You alone Wasted time spinning wheels in my sinful soul Trapped in the darkness which was my home [VERSE 2] Then I saw myself in Your mirror I saw the death and debt that was mine The TV goons told me I had to clean myself If I wanted to match up with Your design [CHORUS] But then Your Word of grace came from the mouth of a friend He said I could turn my face to the God Who has no end To the God Who came to earth Who died and rose for us And baptized to second birth Although we aren’t enough He covers us He cleanses us He makes us His own He covers us He cleanses us Jesus Christ makes us His own [VERSE 3] Decisions made by You, and not by me In my sin I never could choose You But by Word and Sacrament You set me free Give me repentance and faith in You Who are true [CHORUS] And when Your Word of truth comes in water, bread, and wine My fears and doubts are soothed with faith to know You call me, “Mine” And I know that on the cross You died, then rose for me You paid an awful cost To set this sinner free He covers us He cleanses us He makes us His own He covers us He cleanses us Jesus Christ makes us His own [BRIDGE] I never dreamed when I walked away from You That You’d ever pull me in But without any effort on my part I was turned to You again [VERSE 4, partial] If I had it all to do again I would give my life to You alone But because You gave up Your sinless life for me I know I am now and forever free He covers us He cleanses us He makes us His own He covers us He cleanses us Jesus Christ makes us His own
