Conviction stirs within   This is how repentance begins   As He draws me in   I'm sheltered from the wages of my sin      (Chorus:)   With open arms He's welcoming me home   Even though no righteousness I've shown   I am spared by mercy, child of His grace   Received into His favor despite my selfish ways   I am spared by mercy, child of His grace   Received into His favor despite my selfish ways      When I go my way   His perfect will for me my heart evades   He devises ways to bring me    Back into His love's embrace      (Chorus)      He sentenced His only Son to die by our hands   The price for our sin could not be paid by man   Until He returns and His glory fills the land   For the Lord I will stand      I am spared by mercy, child of His grace   Received into His favor despite my selfish ways   I am spared by mercy, child of His grace   Received into His favor despite my selfish ways
