I need words deeper than the ocean
I need a voice bigger than the sky
I need a song worthy of Your nail scars
To sing of the love that took a chance on me

O Yahweh the God who fights for me
My Hallelujah, my soul’s reprieve
Long before my heart believed
Oh, how far You would go for me?

I thought God was further than horizons
I thought grace was just beyond my reach
But you said my life
Was worthy of Your nail scars
So I’ll sing like it was
Cause you took a chance on me

O yahweh the God who fights for me
My Hallelujah, my soul’s reprieve
Long before my heart believed
O how far you would go for me
O how far you would go for me
O how far you would go for me

You stepped into my Egypt
You took me by the hand
You marched me out in freedom
Into the promised land
Now I will not forget You
I’ll will sing of all You have done
Death is swallowed up forever
By the fury of Your love

I know a God who’s closer than a brother
I know a grace far beyond belief
I know I’m healed in the power of Your nail scars
‘Cause yours is a love that took a chance on me

When I was at my lowest
You ran to bring me home
When I was at my lowest
You still were on your throne
When I was still a long way off
You ran to bring me home
