about

words and music by Richard Pratt

lyrics

Your will is my desire
Your word is my command
I try to do what's right
but evil guides my hand
I'm a captive to my flesh
there's a war inside of me
Oh wretched one am I
who can set me free?

I struggle on the road
that leads to victory
I always lose my way
I get lost so easily
My sin has pulled me down
I fall upon my knees
I call upon Your name
help me Jesus please

For a debt I cannot pay
You chose to pay the price
What did You see in me
that was worth a cost so high?

You walked a mile in my shoes You carried my shame
Up Calvary's hill in sorrow and pain
You were nailed to a cross, it should have been me
But You took my place so I could go free
You walked a mile in my shoes
a mile in my shoes

I'm covered by Your grace
I'm cleansed by Your blood
I marvel at Your mercy
I'm amazed at Your love
I'll proclaim Your love
and how You rescued me
I'll sing of Your forgiveness and how it sets me free

For a debt I could not pay
You chose to pay the price
What did You see in me
that was worth a cost so high?

You walked a mile in my shoes You carried my shame
Up Calvary's hill in sorrow and pain
You were nailed to a cross, it should have been me
But You took my place so I could go free
You walked a mile in my shoes
a mile in my shoes

No greater love has anyone than to lay their life down
for their friends
Praise Jesus Christ
the Lamb of God
who died and rose again
