body and soul
Once I was lost Hurting inside Dangling over the edge But the history of pain Barely remains Once I was blind But could it be That the excess of light Is shading the weary past With the shadow it cast And as sin gives way To atoning blood And a debt is paid With the riches of love There's a hope that I see There's a freedom in me There's a comfort in death and in life Knowing that I belong To the Savior who's making me whole Body and soul Now, I can feel A sense of resolve Choosing a new point of view Going against the grain Breaking the chain And the shackles fall On the road to peace And I lose them all As I find my release (And that) Hope eternal springs in me (And that) Freedom seems to willingly carry me Through a world of fears I've stored inside of me Lord, abide in me And as sin give way To atoning blood And a debt is paid With the riches of love
