A backslider's heart's cry for redemption
I’m blessed ‘n my life’s brilliant,
Can’t complain of what I am
Life goes on with nothing much to think…
Basking on those blessings, I got through grace
All these days, I’ve been me
Living life on His terms, by grace

Chorus :                                                            
O what grace that sets me free..                                 
Life goes on ‘n I live on… the way He wants me to                       


I’m at ease ‘n my life’s vibrant;
I’m not mindful of where I am
Life takes me places, that are too much to think…
Compromising I start to do, hurling away His grace
I’m vilelfully enjoying the days of my youth
Living life on my own terms, away from grace

Chorus :                                                            
O what grace that sets me free..                                 
Life goes on ‘n I live on…. the way I want to          

I’m complacent ‘n I feel the hurt inside;
I’m getting worried, of how I am
Life’s messing me around, and it too much to take…
Crying I start to do, and guilt takes over from grace
I’m ruined I think, and estranged from my father in heaven
Living life the way I hate, not knowing that grace awaits.

Chorus :                                                            
O what grace that sets me free..                                 
Life goes on ‘n I live on…. the way I want to

Bridge:
It’s burning my soul, this feeling of guilt
and I loath the  day, I wandered this far
wine women and war, don’t satisfy my soul…….
Life goes on….but, should I  live on ?

I’m tired of running, ‘n I fall before the throne.
I’m laying down, and there I am
Life’s been a full circle, and He says I’m too much to loose
Tears come down my cheeks not of sorrow but of joy
I’ve been redeemed by my father, and given a second chance
Live life I will, the way He wills.

Chorus :                                                            
O what grace that sets me free..                                 
Life goes on and I live on… the way He wants me to
