[Verse 1] I came in empty-handed Dust on my boots, broke-hearted You met me at the doorway With mercy in your face My name was worn and small My prayers were thin as paper Still I heard your call "Son, don't look away" [Pre-Chorus] And I keep trying to shake it 'Cause I’ve been here before But this time I know I’ll make it Your promise opens doors [Chorus] You place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) You place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) [Verse 2] I watched the love start to spread When Your word hit the table Hearts that were cold and dead Found that they were able Chains fell quiet on Sunday Tears ran like a waterfall And the shame that kept me away Could not claim me after all [Pre-Chorus] So I keep on bringing All I have, all I’ve found 'Til You turn my surrender Into holy ground [Chorus] You place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) You place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) [Bridge] Let it break the hard heart Let it heal the bent knee Let it wake the dead part Let it make me free I was lost, now I'm here I was blind, now I see You take what I can give You And You give me back a King [Chorus] You place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) You.place a cross in my hands but I still don't understand the power of God (the power of God) [Outro]
