[Verse]
I've walked the road of shadows, worn by my own shame,
Carried the heavy burden, pointed no one else to blame.
The years I spent in darkness, Lord, I paid a sinner's price,
'Til You reached out in mercy, became my sacrifice.

[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, how could You take my place?
With all my sins, and all my disgrace.
Your love's the light that breaks my chains,
Thank You, Lord, for enduring my pain.

[Verse 2]
I knelt beside the river, where truth will always flow,
I watched my reflection tremble, as my spirit turned to glow.
The scars upon Your body, the crown that split Your brow,
It humbled this lost sinner, and I’m bowing here right now.

[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, how could You take my place?
With all my sins, and all my disgrace.
Your love's the light that breaks my chains,
Thank You, Lord, for enduring my pain.

[Bridge]
I know I’ve been forgiven, but my heart still longs to pay,
For the gift You gave so freely, on that dark and dreadful day.
If I can live for You tomorrow, I’ll try to shine Your name,
Let this sinner’s life reflect Your grace through joy and deepest pain.

[Verse 3]
So I’ll sing to the heavens, a prayer you’ll always hear,
For the mercy and the kindness You showed through every tear.
I was lost but now I’m steady, and all because of You,
My Savior, my Redeemer, my old life starts anew.
