I drove by Your house every day
But guilt always drove me away
I wanted so bad to be free
But shame is a powerful thing

I thought I belonged
Outside in the shadow of the steeple
'Til you came along
And You gave it all for me of all people

How could You see every sin
And forgive me again and again
When others were scared of my scars
You welcomed me into your arms

I thought I belonged
Outside in the shadow of the steeple
'Til You came along
And You gave it all for me of all people

The cross on the top of that church
That was the cross I deserved
But instead, I'm a sinner set free
Oh, grace is a powerful thing

And now I belong
Inside the house that's underneath the steeple
'Cause You came along
And You gave it all for me of all people
For me of all people
