[Intro: piano and pedal steel] [Verse 1: Bubba, male] Brought a book of all my failures, Every page I knew by name. Thought if I could make it heavy, I could pay my way through shame. At the cross I found a mercy I could never earn alone, And the love of Christ was greater Than the weight I'd called my own. [Chorus: duet] Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb, Grace has met me where I am. Empty hands, an honest prayer, Jesus, I can meet You there. Let forgiveness teach my feet How to walk the coming street. All my hope is in Your hand, Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb. [Verse 2: Darlene, female] If my words have hurt a neighbor, Let me go and make that right. If I've left a promise broken, Let me bring it to the light. Mercy isn't an excuse To leave another heart in pain; It's the strength to face the morning, Take a faithful step again. [Chorus: duet] Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb, Grace has met me where I am. Empty hands, an honest prayer, Jesus, I can meet You there. Let forgiveness teach my feet How to walk the coming street. All my hope is in Your hand, Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb. [Bridge: Darlene leads, Bubba harmony] I can't travel back to yesterday, But I can bring You all that I regret. Give me courage for the work of love, And a heart that won't forget. [Final chorus: duet, gospel harmony] Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb, Grace has met me where I am. Empty hands, an honest prayer, Jesus, I can meet You there. Let forgiveness teach my feet How to walk the coming street. All my hope is in Your hand, Paid in full by the blood of the Lamb. [Outro: quiet duet] With a thankful heart I'll stand, In the mercy of the Lamb. [Resolved Eadd9, complete gentle ending]
