Ia€™M THE REASON
Steve Anderson
Kneeling before a cross of gold
Asking forgiveness for my sins of old
I felt such a presence that time stood still
When I opened my eyes I was on Calvary Hill
The cross that I knelt before no longer gold
The blood on the ground was not very old
As I touched the blood with my fingertips
I heard Father forgive him, come from his lips
Chorus 1:
As I beheld the image in front of me
Forgive me Lord Jesus I cried
It's my sin and shame yes I am to blame
I'm the reason that you had to die
The sorrow I felt kept me down on my knees
Father have mercy was all I could plead
Then I heard a voice sounding oh so sweet
When I opened my eyes I was at Jesus feet
REPEAT Chorus 1:
KEY CHANGE
Can you imagine my joy and surprise
Standing before me as I opened my eyes
The blood still fresh on my fingertips
I heard shed for you, come from his lips
Chorus 2: As I beheld the image in front of me
Thank you Lord Jesus I cried
It's the least I can do to love and serve you
With a joy I can no longer hide
REPEAT Chorus 2:
End
