Life was a vision that faded away
A beginning and end with no point in between
But death became life by You and in Your mercy
There's no end only new beginnings
Life was a life I'd been living a long time
But I wasn't living at all
Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do
And for you alone
Imprisoned by the will of my own
Shackled by what this world calls freedom
But now I'm a slave for you and I am finally free
As backwards and upside down as it seems
Life was a life I'd been living a long time
But I wasn't living at all
Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do
And for you alone
I was surrounded by all one could possibly need
But I was never satisfied
Now that I starve and thirst for You and You alone
I'm filled to the brim with Your love and your life
Life was a life I'd been living a long time
But I wasn't living at all
Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do
And for you alone
Stumbling through the suffering and pain
Staggering past all the violence and hate
But now I drink this cup and I am drunk with your love
Strangely now I can walk straight
'Cause life was a life I'd been living a long time
But I wasn't living at all
Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do
And for you alone
Life was a life I'd been living a long time
But I wasn't living at all
Now that I'm free I can do what you will me to do
And for you alone
