Like this:

There were days not to long ago
When all my ways were just for show
I lived my life for myself
Fought through strife, sought for wealth
I wanted happiness and peace
I wanted joy and a release
From all the pain deep down inside
Yet I was bound by chains and a heart so full of pride

But God…

But God in his great mercy
Stepped down and set me free
From all my sinful ways
Now I sing his praise
And have new life in Him
He’s changed me from within
Although He tore my life apart
It was so that I could restart
And live a life built upon his grace

There were days not to long ago
When all my ways were just for show
But people saw and people prayed
I took a fall and felt betrayed
But He was in control, and answering their prayers
He stepped down and saved my soul and started the repairs
Now I look back at all the things I’ve done
A heart so black now thankful for God’s Son

Because God…

Because God in his great mercy
Stepped down and set me free
From all my sinful ways
Now I sing his praise
And have new life in Him
He’s changed me from within
Although He tore my life apart
It was so that I could restart
And live a life built upon his grace

And His grace
Is so amazing, so enduring
Precious, priceless and reassuring me
That every day that I’m alive I’m living a new life!
