Lyrics

While I Was Still a Sinner

I was lost in the dark, had a heart on the run,
Still He came with the love, didn’t wait till I’d won.
No perfection required, no clean record displayed,
He stepped into my mess while my debt still was paid.

I was far, I was flawed, I was guilty and weak,
But His mercy was strong when I didn’t dare speak.
Love on a cross—that’s the proof, that’s the sign,
He chose me at my worst, and He still called me His.

While I was still a sinner, He showed me grace,
Put love on the line, took my shame in my place.
Not because I was worthy, not because I was clean,
But He loved me that much—that’s the gospel I mean.

While I was still a sinner, Christ died for me,
Broke the power of darkness and He set my soul free.
Now I’m standing forgiven, I’m redeemed by the King,
He loved me at my worst that’s why forever I’ll sing.
Now I’m changed by the King, got a new kind of fire,
Every chain fell apart when He lifted me higher.
What looked like defeat was the start of my praise,
He turned all of my nights into merciful days.

Now I live by His truth, not the weight of my past,
For the old me is gone and I’m free now at last.
I’m a living reminder of what mercy can do
If He did it for me, He can do it for you.


While I was still a sinner, He showed me grace,
Put love on the line, took my shame in my place.
Not because I was worthy, not because I was clean,
But He loved me that much that’s the gospel I mean.

While I was still a sinner, Christ died for me,
Broke the power of darkness and He set my soul free.
Now I’m standing forgiven, I’m redeemed by the King,
He loved me at my worst that’s why forever I’ll sing.


Now I walk in the light, not the man I once was,
I’ve been washed, I’ve been healed by the power of His blood.
When the enemy whispers I’m too broken to stand,
I remember His promise: I’m held in His hands.

Every day is a witness, every breath is a praise,
To the One who redeemed me and called me by name.
I will tell every heart till my last song is sung:
Christ died for the guilty and the victorys won.

No height, no depth, no fear, no shame
Could ever separate me from the power of His name.
The cross said, “Forgiven,” and the grave said, “Alive,”
By the blood of the Lamb, I’ve been justified.

I didn’t earn it, I could never repay,
But mercy came running and carried my shame.
From death into life, from the lost to redeemed
That is love, that is grace, that’s the gospel I mean.

While I was still a sinner, He showed me grace,
Put love on the line, took my shame in my place.
Not because I was worthy, not because I was clean,
But He loved me that much that’s the gospel I mean.

While I was still a sinner, Christ died for me,
Broke the power of darkness and He set my soul free.
Now I’m standing forgiven, I’m redeemed by the King,
He loved me at my worst that’s why forever I’ll sing.

He loved me at my worst,
He called me by my name.
He met me in my brokenness
And covered me with grace.

While I was still a sinner,
Jesus died for me.
That is love, that is grace
That’s the gospel I mean.
