1)
A loser without direction
I drifted aimlessly
On the back side of a place called nowhere
Forgotten by humaninty.
When they talked about potential
They did not refer to me,
'Cause everyone could clearly see
What I was, I'd always be.
Chorus:
He saw not what I was,
He saw what I could be,
When He reached His hand to where I was
He took a chance on me,
All He had to hope for was a possibility
Still He saw not what I was
He saw what I could be.
2)
So now you know the reason
I lift my hands so willingly.
If He had not found me when He did,
I'd be lost, lost indeed.
Although I'm far from perfect,
I'm even farther still you see.
From the life I lived just yesterday,
Before the Lord found me.
