Then Christ Came

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Like a soldier with no armor

In the middle of the battle

I was broken

I was broken

It was only getting darker

In the valley of the shadow

I was hopeless

I was hopeless

I never thought that I would ever see the day

When every single chain would break

Or hear the voice of heaven call my name

Then Christ came

Changing everything

He took my sin and shame away

Now every song

I sing will be for him

Ever since the moment he walked in

Then Christ came

I was searching for a reason

To believe that I could ever really matter

Ever matter

I was hoping, I was reaching

So desperate for my soul to find its savior

I need a savior

Then Christ came

Changing everything

He took my sin and shame away

Now every song

I sing will be for him

Ever since the moment he walked in

Then Christ came

Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh

You are the one I prayed for

You are the one I was made for

Hallelujah

Jesus, you gave me purpose

Jesus, you told me I'm worth it

Hallelujah

I never thought that I would ever see the day

When every single chain would break

Or hear the voice of heaven call my name

Then Christ came

Changing everything

He took my sin and shame away

Now every song

I sing will be for him

Ever since the moment he walked in

You are the one I prayed for (you are the one)

You are the one I was made for (you are the one)

Hallelujah (ooh-ooh)

Jesus, you gave me purpose (Jesus)

Jesus, you told me I'm worth it (hallelujah)

Hallelujah (oh-oh)

Then Christ came
