[Verse 1] I had a rebel’s soul, Always sure my way was right. Even when I looked like goodness, You could see the sin inside. We’ve all sinned and fallen short; Not one of us can stand And claim we’ve earned a place in Heaven By the goodness of our hands. [Verse 2] The wages of our sin is death, But God gives life through Christ. While we were sinners, Jesus loved us; On the cross He paid the price. They laid His body in the grave, But that was not the end. God raised His Son to life again— The Savior of rebellious men. [Chorus] I had a rebel’s soul, Always choosing my own way. But Jesus died to bring me home And rose up from the grave. I believed within my heart, Confessed that Jesus Christ is Lord. I called upon His name to save— Found the peace I’d searched for. [Verse 3] You don’t have to earn His mercy; You can’t buy this gift of grace. You don’t have to hide your failures; Bring them to the Lord today. Turn from sin and turn to Jesus; Trust the One who died for you. Believe God raised Him from the dead; Confess Him as your Lord—the Truth. [Chorus] I had a rebel’s soul, Always choosing my own way. But Jesus died to bring me home And rose up from the grave. I believed within my heart, Confessed that Jesus Christ is Lord. I called upon His name to save— Found the peace I’d searched for. [Spoken Prayer — instruments soften, no singing] Lord Jesus, I have sinned; I cannot save myself. You died for me and rose again; I trust in no one else. Forgive me, Lord; I turn to You, Surrendering my own way. Jesus Christ, You are my Lord; I call on You to save. [Final Chorus] I had a rebel’s soul, Always choosing my own way. But Jesus died to bring me home And rose up from the grave. I believed within my heart, Confessed that Jesus Christ is Lord. I called upon His name to save— Found the peace I’d searched for.
