I am lost, a stranger in a distant land Heavy heart and empty hands Surrounded by my shame Here I stand, How could I be called your son All the foolish things that I've done I've wasted all you gave Oh you ran to me Arms stretched wide With a robe and ring In the midst of my poverty You came near to me So I'm running boldly I will run to you With no fear like a child would do I'll come near like you want me to Cause you came near to me Cleansing cross, You carried down the city streets As heaven watched you thought of me And gave your life away Oh you ran to me Arms stretched wide Up on Calvary In the midst of my poverty You came near to me So I'm running boldly I will run to you With no fear like a child would do I'll come near like you want me to Cause you came near to me So I'm running boldly to the one who bled and died Who gave his life is on my side Whom shall condemn me He is for me He has made things right I will run to you With no fear like a child would do I'll come near like you want me to Cause you came near to me So I'm running boldly to the throne of grace Where I am free And I stand amazed For all my sin became a crimson stain Because you came near to me, to me, to me I'm running, oh, I'm running, oh, I'm running, cause you came near to me, Cause you came near to me.
