Rebuild the Fallen

Please!
Change me from the inside out
Please!
I feel my heart falling apart
I’m begging on my knees 
I feel these demons controlling me

Day by day
I fall 
Deeper and deeper
Night by night
I dig my own grave
And I cry out
God I need you now! 

Thank God
I never get what I deserve
Thank God
We don’t get what we deserve
The scandal of grace
You died in our place
The power of the cross
You gave me what you lost
A love I could never earn
I was lost at every turn

Blinded by such
Perfect love
Taken back by
The glory above
How could someone love me
Like you do
I’ve been the scum of the earth
Since the moment of birth
Amongst the devil’s lies
You saw the potential inside

Thank God
I never get what I deserve
Thank God
We don’t get what we deserve
The scandal of grace
You died in our place
The power of the cross
You gave me what you lost
A love I could never earn
I was lost at every turn

I want to live for you
Forever
I want you to be
My every endeavor 
Without you I’m nothing
I need to be something
Something more than this
Craving heaven’s bliss
You came to 
Rebuild the Fallen
Even amongst the ones
Forgotten

Thank God
I never get what I deserve
Thank God
We don’t get what we deserve
The scandal of grace
You died in our place
The power of the cross
You gave me what you lost
A love I could never earn
I was lost at every turn
