The ropes of death surrounded me The floods of pain swept all over me, yea The grave wrapped its ropes around me Death itself, it stared me down Yea, it stared me down Then i cried to you will you take me Then i cried to you will you take me You are most holy And i am unworthy To stand before your mighty throne To believe and behold Your unfailing love Yea, you are most holy You took away a part of me That tore though my soul, you washed my guilt away You took all my iniquities And shed your blood now i am free Yea, i am free Now i reach to you because you hold me Now i hold to you because you reached me Fill me with your love Flood me with your grace Let me hear your voice and feel your presence in this place You are my strength, my rock and my shield My savior through christ, from whose stripes i am healed The grave wrapped it's ropes around me But now, but now, you wrap your arms around me
