The ropes of death surrounded me
The floods of pain swept all over me, yea

The grave wrapped its ropes around me
Death itself, it stared me down
Yea, it stared me down

Then i cried to you will you take me
Then i cried to you will you take me

You are most holy
And i am unworthy
To stand before your mighty throne
To believe and behold
Your unfailing love
Yea, you are most holy

You took away a part of me
That tore though my soul, you washed my guilt away
You took all my iniquities
And shed your blood now i am free
Yea, i am free

Now i reach to you because you hold me
Now i hold to you because you reached me

Fill me with your love
Flood me with your grace
Let me hear your voice and feel your presence in this place
You are my strength, my rock and my shield
My savior through christ, from whose stripes i am healed

The grave wrapped it's ropes around me
But now, but now, you wrap your arms around me
