I Come To Be

This is how I came to be, Born into sin and iniquity. The fall of man, the sin of the earth, Yet Jesus gives me new birth. This is how I come to be, Bitter and angry when someone hurts me. The love I once felt turns to hate. I fall into addiction to escape. This is how I come to be, Overcome with shame, on my knees. Guilt and condemnation overwhelm my soul But God says, “I will restore and make you whole.” This is where I come to be, Once again, down on my knees. Bowing before a gracious God, So thankful, amazed and awed. This is where I dream to be, Where streets of gold are all I see. My life here on earth is done, And Jesus shines brighter than the sun.
