Love Moved First |
This is the story of a runaway |
With no way home and no way out |
I threw the best of me away |
I had my chance, it’s too late now |
Too far gone and too ashamed |
To think that You’d still know my name |
But love refused to let my story end that way |
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You |
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to |
You came running after me |
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst |
Love moved first |
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohh |
What kind of grace, relentless grace |
Would chase this rebel down |
Crawl into this prisoner’s cage |
Take my hand and pull me out |
You knew I couldn’t make the change |
So You became the change in me |
And now I live to tell the story |
Of the God who rescues |
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You |
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to |
You came running after me |
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst |
Love moved first |
From the throne to the manger |
From a manger to the grave |
Your cross is the proof |
Love made the first move |
From a grave meant to keep You |
To a stone rolled away |
Your cross is the proof |
Love made the first move |
I remember where You found me |
I’m amazed by where I stand |
Your cross is the proof |
That love made the first move |
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You |
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to |
You came running after me |
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst |
Love moved first |
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh |
Love moved first |
