I was
I used to be like you
Now I know the truth
I hated everything
Fated to love and sing
The word of the cross
Is for you that is lost
Walk before the lord
And you will sing this chord
Come, come for me
Repeat 2x{ and I will comfort you
Sing, sing my name
And I will heal your shame
I used to be like you
Now I know the truth
I hated everything
Fated to love and sing
The word of the cross
Is for you that is lost
Walk before the lord
And you will sing this chord
Come, come for me
Repeat 2x{ and I will comfort you
Sing, sing my name
And I will heal your shame
Come, come for me
And I will comfort you
Sing, sing my name
And I will heal your shame
