Conviction stirs within

This is how repentance begins

As He draws me in

I'm sheltered from the wages of my sin

(Chorus:)

With open arms He's welcoming me home

Even though no righteousness I've shown

I am spared by mercy, child of His grace

Received into His favor despite my selfish ways

I am spared by mercy, child of His grace

Received into His favor despite my selfish ways

When I go my way

His perfect will for me my heart evades

He devises ways to bring me

Back into His love's embrace

(Chorus)

He sentenced His only Son to die by our hands

The price for our sin could not be paid by man

Until He returns and His glory fills the land

For the Lord I will stand

I am spared by mercy, child of His grace

Received into His favor despite my selfish ways

I am spared by mercy, child of His grace

Received into His favor despite my selfish ways
