But When God

B eginning in a family of strife and living there for most of my life,
U ncertain was my call to glory, but now I live to tell the story,
T he story of a life made new, the story of a Gentile Jew!

W hen Jesus bled and died for you, so that you could be made new,
H is blood was poured out on the cross, so that you would not suffer His loss,
E xalting his Son in his glory, God’s been forever telling His story,
N ow come and accept the Lord’s mercy, never again do you have to be thirsty!

G race and mercy flow from the Lord’s throne and you never have to be alone,
O nce the work had been finished by Jesus, God gave us his Spirit to free us,
D eath holds no fear for the children He chooses and not one of them He ever loses!
