Who, oh Lord, is like unto thee?
You show true love and tender mercy?
You cut my bonds and set me free!
Filling my life with joy and glee!

I've chosen poorly in the past.
The path I walked could not last.
You held on to me tight and fast.
Though I was sure the die was cast

Then you began to change my heart.
For so long I'd lived apart.
Your mercy gave me a second start.
To me, your love, you did impart.

How blessed my life was on that day,
That from my path you took away,
All the things leading me astray,
As me, with your strength, you did sway.

I, after all, was never alone,
And as your power to me was shown,
Freedom was given I had not known,
My faith, in you, like a seed has grown.

You bless me more than I deserve,
And of my past you don't reserve,
My eternal soul to preserve,
And allow me humbly, you to serve.

Knowledge and wisdom without bound,
Your love and patience I have found,
Giving me time to turn around,
As with your kindness, you astound.

A sacrifice was made for me,
Your only son you gave to be,
Our Savior to whom I bend my knee,
And grateful always be to thee.

He did thy will though he willed not,
To glorify you, he ardently sought,
And with his blood, our salvation bought,
Freeing us from whence we were caught.

You alone have the power,
It will be shown in the final hour,
Satan's minions will cringe and cower,
As above them all you do tower.
