Reprise

And I was once a dead man A stranger with no home I stood opposed to God himself And yet He pardoned me Yahh With all my heart and the fiercest will Desired nought but to thieve and kill I hadn't a thought of peace, but war Surrender was not what I’d endure I was a murderer Filled with lies and deceit Faced with my list of crimes Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep I'm surrendering Pull me out from this wickedness In this thieving heart of stone I realized all these sins I could not atone I was a murderer Filled with lies and deceit Faced with my list of crimes And I was once a dead man A stranger with no home I stood opposed to God himself And yet He pardoned me So just at the right time When we were dead in our sins You took this heart of mine And gave me life again And gave me life again This is where I begin So far apart and a debt to fulfill This purchase bought on redemption's hill An ailing disease I couldn’t cure Oh this grace! How rich and pure! Abide in me my God! I am found in You Pardon me my God! You know my deepest thoughts Deliver me from sin I am made anew I'm surrendering this heart For which Your blood it bought For which Your blood it bought For which Your blood it bought The mob, they yelled and screamed for justice That wrath was ours, we are to blame You made a spectacle of rulers Denying You of a king's fame Having crushed the written cannon That wrote of all our guilt and shame Displayed upon the tree it was nailed The saving power of Your name And I was once a dead man A stranger with no home You saw this wretch and You gave him life Forever I'll praise You I will praise You

Oh, now my Son Here is a company of miserable souls Cold and undone Searing their conscience with hearts black as coals Here now they lie Objects of justice, deserving of wrath Speak Your reply What shall be done for them? Draw out your path Father, I say, such is My love and My pity for all There is a way for no condemnation on men to befall Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa No man can pay; Utterly broke and poor to settle their debt Though all’ve gone their way I’ll yield a way for their sins to forget (Sins to forget) Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me O My Son, You must understand That if I show mercy You must reckon to pay The last bit of My rage For justice reigns upon this throne; Perfection without flaw How can the wicked find their peace And still have broken every law? Let it be so Charge it on me For I can bear the weight of sin So all would be free Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me Bring in all their sins Lay it all on Me Let it be so Charge it on me For I can bear the weight of sin So all would be free

On that day when I see my king And death has lost its sting (Death has lost its sting) Until then I’m chasing after mysteries I’m chasing after mysteries (I’m chasing after You) Living, You loved me though I fought Dying, You saved me, My soul bought Buried, You carried my sins away You carried my sins far away Carried my sins Carried my sins far away Carried my sins far away Far away Suffering, imagine I cannot Forgiving, all my sins You forgot Rising, You eased our dismay You eased me of all my dismay All my, all my, all my dismay On that day when I see my king And death has lost its sting (Death has lost its sting) Until then I’m chasing after mysteries I’m chasing after mysteries (I’m chasing after You) Carried my sins far away You carried my sins far away You carried my sins Far away Far away I’m looking off into the distance And though it may just be a shadow I’m chasing after mysteries to find The joy in knowing Christ On that day when I see my King clothed in all of His power And His love I will join the choirs to sing of His mercies and grace With all of His beloved With all of His beloved With all of His beloved With all his beloved

An aimless wanderer He was summoned to the king Sail no longer, for this treasure that you claim Warrants death a thousand times (What you waste, I will restore) Endless debts for countless crimes (And I'll give you so much more) Never have I held such beauty in my hands I should've died as the written law demands Yet I'm set to sail anew (And this vessel stays secure) A different shore I'm sailing to (With this gift, I can endure) Why give this gift to such a man like me? I'm a lying crook and a selfish thief Yes, I'm nothing and it's truly free I'm amazed that it shook far beyond belief In this sea I'm sailing, there are so many threats to be faced There are few trailing for this trek is dubbed a waste Many that have crossed the sea (Turned and headed back ashore) They'll ask my course and disagree (Screaming, waste your time no more) All the things I once could afford (I will die before this prize) Ruined by the sight of more (When such beauty struck my eyes) I wept and cried as I heard their screams To reject a gift well beyond their dreams Yes, I'm nothing and it's truly free That is why I sail out upon the sea Still I hear the crying now (There's no reward) Afraid to die to cast their doubt (Headed overboard) Still I hear them yell and shout (Waste your time no more) Don't linger, this day just trails (Waste your time no more) Drink back up, tell yourself (Waste your time no more) You call it a waste, you call it a waste (What a shame, your ship is breaking) You call it a waste, I call it grace You call it a waste, you call it a waste (Why give this gift to such a man like me?) (I'm a lying crook and a selfish thief) You call it a waste, I call it grace (Yes, I'm nothing and it's truly free) (I'm amazed that it shook far beyond belief)
