Your kindness led me to repentance ...

Your kindness led me to repentance, your grace has captured my heart         

Your overwhelming forgiveness has given my life a new start

My freedom's secured with the life of Your Son

My ransom is paid and my victory won

My pardon is signed with the blood of the Lamb

So now in Your grace I can stand

I cannot repay You for what You have done

My rebellion and sin are exchanged for Your Son

I can't understand the reason why

You loved me enough to die

I grew up hearing sermons that told me I was bad

The list was very long of things that made God mad

His judgement and His wrath were all I ever heard

Until the day His Spirit helped me hear God's Word

Jesus took the punishment instead of me

He bore the wrath of God so now I am free

Sin, death and judgement are no longer mine

I'm reconciled to God until the end of time

The message of His grace has simply not been heard

Millions still in bondage need to hear His Word

The Church has held this secret for two thousand years

Yet so many still are trapped in shame and fear

They know of sin and judgement and the hell they face

But now they need to know of His amazing grace

Hardened hearts will soften as His mercy flows

If the Church remains asleep, they'll never know!

His kindness will lead to repentance

His grace will capture their hearts

His overwhelming forgiveness will give them all a new start

Their freedom's secured with the life of His Son       

Their ransom is paid and their victory won

Their pardon is signed with the blood of the Lamb

So now in His grace they can stand

They cannot repay Him for what He has done

Their rebellion and sin are exchanged for His Son

They'll never know … if we won’t go and tell everyone the good news:

Jesus died for them too!
