There was a time
There was a time, when I thought I was
Nothing pretty, no one special
Something inside, was telling me lies
Saying that I’m undeserving

Pre-chorus:
You give me joy
You give me hope
You show me the truth that makes me go on and You
You give me love
Strength that I need to go on

Chorus:
You’ve changed my life
Filled my heart
With Your hope and Your love
I am amazed by Your grace
And how You work in me

I understand
You are my reason for life

There was a time when I believed Satan’s lies
And let them hurt me and put me down
Shame, guilt and doubt
Had got a hold on all my life
And imprisoned my whole mind


Pre-chorus:
You give me joy
You give me hope
You show me the truth that makes me go on and You
You give me love
Strength that I need to go on

Chorus:
You’ve changed my life
Filled my heart
With Your hope and Your love
I am amazed by Your grace
And how You work in me

Bridge:
I understand, had I listened to those lies
I would never have found the treasure inside my heart
Nor would I have found my call

There was a time
But now that time is gone …
