about

This song started as a writing exercise on the General Confession from the old green Prayer Book. It ended up as the clearest expression of what it means to be a fallen human saved by Grace.

lyrics

© 1997 - Inside Out Music Production

In your likeness Lord
You sent Your Son
Filled with radiance and light
When the darkness was too much to bear
He walked on earth
To show the way
To lighten up our night

But O how foolish is the heart of man
That we should love the darkness more
But in the mystery of Your wondrous plan
We cast Him down
You raised Him up
And back to life once more

How can I stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It’s not because of anything I’ve done
You see in me, the image of Your Son

Yes I know I haven’t loved You Lord
The way that You command me to,
And no matter how I try to pretend,
You look at me, you pierce my heart,
Your eyes can see right through,

And I wonder how you love me Lord
When I’m unworthy to the core,
When good intentions and my promises fail,
You lift me up, You turn me round,
And call me to your door,

So I can stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It’s not because of anything I’ve done
You see in me, the image of Your Son

Its not about who’s bad or good,
Or who we are, or where,
It’s all about how Jesus died
The death that I deserved

Now I can stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It’s not because of anything I’ve done
You see in me, the image of Your Son
You see in me, the image of Your Son
