You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. Unless Your grace had called me And taught my op'ning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heav'nly glories blind. My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. My heart knows none above You; For Your rich grace I thirst; I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first. I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first. My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me.
