I grew up reciting Bible verses Committing everyone to memory But like Nicodemus when he met the Teacher I could finally see the Pharisee in me I have always believed I believed in The right things to do and to say But like Paul I was traveling and blinded Till I saw the Light the Truth and the Way In the darkness God saw my need Saw my sorrow my lust and my greed Just one touch of His hand I was free In my darkness God saw my need I could name you every book in the Bible And I knew all the pretty words it took to pray But like Zacchaeus I was short on things that mattered Still the Lord stopped in at my house one day Ah it's a thin thin line between a good man And one who knows he's been saved Like Lazarus I'm now a friend of Jesus And this body is all I'm taking to the grave In the darkness God saw my need Saw my sorrow my lust and my greed Just one touch of His hand I was free In my darkness God saw my need
