your light shone all around
casting shadows on the floor
in filth and ugly stench
i looked to see your face

your glory, oh, your glory
it fills my eyes with tears
pure love of christ extended
to meet me where i am

nothing to deserve this
i stand hopelessly
in your mercy
as i look into your holiness

tragedy and sorrow fills
the deep recesses of my soul
my sin clearly apparent to me
ugly, gross, and foul

i hang my head in shame
longing for a place to hide
yet the warmth of your love
keeps me from running

i look up again
expecting to see your wrath
only then do i notice
your gentle sparkling eyes

i gaze into your beauty
wonder fills my heart
your holiness so holy
now shadows all my sin

tears stream down my face
as i feel your love so real
churning, burning deep in me
like a child i cry hold me

the peace and comfort
i yearned for all my life
are coming true
too strong to be a dream

your glory fills my very being
i feel like a different person
your waft of mercy
permeates my spirit

i notice that i’m no longer
covered in all my shame
surprised i look just like you
in the beauty of your grace
