So many tears shed for myself So much pain endured for myself So many long roads walked for myself So many times counted gains and losses So many times my desires were dashed Often I'd think of leaving God But His love would hold me close With His fingers locked in mine Leading me away from passiveness Leading me away one step at a time So often I would turn to walk away But His love would hold me close His words split my sinful soul Leaving me nowhere to hide with my shame Often I doubted and wondered Couldn't resist Satan's temptation So many times saw fame and status Stubborn, never tried to give them up Oh God, this is who I am I don't deserve your love or salvation If your word didn't lead and guide I couldn't progress one step Leading me away from passiveness Leading me away one step at a time So often I would turn to walk away But Your love would hold me close You give me Your life in truth I have now been saved by You Oh God, no longer passive I won't backslide I'll put truth into practice lived by Your word Oh God, chastise and judge me Refine me, make me clean for salvation Leading me away from passiveness Leading me away one step at a time Leading me away from passiveness Leading me away one step at a time So often I would turn to walk away But Your love would hold me close You give me Your life in truth I have now been saved by You Leading me away from passiveness Leading me away one step at a time You give me Your life in truth I have now been saved by You I have now been saved by You
