Tears at the Cross (Contemporary Worship)

Verse 1

I came in stained and tired

With dust on both my hands

You saw me at the door

And still You took a chance

My name was barely mine

My heart was hard as stone

You touched the buried hurt

And called me home

Pre-Chorus

So I lift my eyes

Past every broken line

You were there all along

Right here in the dark

Chorus

Jesus, You held me

Jesus, You kept me

When I had nothing left

You loved me first

Jesus, You found me

Jesus, You saved me

Now all I have is this

My grateful heart

Verse 2

I watched the day turn gray

I heard the graveyard wind

But mercy met my fear

And pulled me in

The tears came hot and fast

Like rain on thirsty ground

You wrote Your peace on me

When I was drowning down

Pre-Chorus

So I lift my eyes

Past every broken line

You were there all along

Right here in the dark

Chorus

Jesus, You held me

Jesus, You kept me

When I had nothing left

You loved me first

Jesus, You found me

Jesus, You saved me

Now all I have is this

My grateful heart

Bridge

You never walked away

You never let me go

When shame said I was lost

You said I still belong

I was held by Your grace

I was covered in love

And every scar I wore

You filled with light

Final Chorus

Jesus, You held me

Jesus, You kept me

When I had nothing left

You loved me first

Jesus, You found me

Jesus, You saved me

Now all I have is this

My grateful heart

Jesus, You held me

Jesus, You kept me

Forever I will sing

You loved me first
