I dropped the golden robes lined with lead
Upon hearing words I'd never read
Since finding Him these things I've learned
Things for which I used to yearn

When tears are streaming down your face
Know that your sins have been erased
When you're so lost that you can't speak
Fall into His love so deep

When your hands are red and raw and sore
Out from you God's love has poured
When it seems nothing can go wrong
He will join in your joyful song

When there's no one you can turn to
Know that He will never leave you
And when you leave this life behind
You'll find the Maker of All Mankind

My path is now so light and fair
The weight of sin I no longer bear
His love is mine; He paid the price
I gave up religion to follow Christ
