the world had a hold (G)of me.

I My heart was a stone, I was cov ered in shame

when He came (G)for me.

I could n’t run, could n’t (Am)run from His pres ence.

I could n’t run, could n’t (Gsus)run from (G)His arms.

(C)Je sus, He loves

me, He loves

me, He is (C)for

me.

(C)Je sus, how can it be?

He loves

me, He is (C)for

(C)me.

It was a fire

deep in my soul.

the I’ll nev er be (G)the same.

I stepped out of the dark I and in to the light

when He called (G)my name.

I could n’t run, could n’t (Am)run from His pres ence.

I could n’t run, could n’t (Gsus)run from (G)His arms.

(C)Je sus, He loves

me, He loves

me, He is (C)for

me.

(C)Je sus, how can it be?
