Dejected I sat, in fogs of gray

I heard a voice, “Why don’t you pray?”

Humbly, I dropped down on my knees,

“If You’re there, LORD, tell me, please.

*

Is there a place of sweet content?

Is there a joy that’s heaven-sent?

Is there a time when strife will cease?

Is there hope for perfect peace?”

*

Then came the voice, it spoke to me

“See now the Lamb, sit at His feet

See now the Lamb, your debt’s been paid

See now the Lamb, He is the WAY

*

“But who am I?  I’m caught in sin

Who am I to follow Him?

Then said the voice, “It’s who I AM.

I AM the WAY, the risen Lamb!”

*
To Him, I came, with guilt and sin

Him, I believed, His grace rushed in

There I knelt with empty hands

“Here am I!”, seeing now the Lamb!

*

See now the Lamb, who wept and prayed

See now the Lamb, my debt’s been paid

See now the Lamb, His heart did bleed

See now the Lamb, for me He pleads

*

Yes, here am I, to do Your will

Here am I, this heart please fill

Boldly before Your throne I stand

Here am I, but see now the Lamb!

*

See now the Lamb, who wept and prayed

See now the Lamb, my debt’s been paid

See now the Lamb, His heart did bleed

See now the Lamb, for me He pleads.
