What Would I Be

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, da-da-da
Da-da-da, yeah, yeah, yeah

Love always escaped me
I just couldn't make it stay
Questions without answers
Were a part of every day
There were deep unspoken longings
That I never dared to say

But You saw my need and rescued me
And touched me with Your grace
You stepped into this lonely heart
And filled the empty space

What would I be without Your love in my life
Making it worthwhile?
What would I do without Your tenderness
That's teaching me to smile?
Who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope
Than I've ever dreamed
Oh, Lord, without Your mercy covering me
What would I be?

Now I know just who I am
And I know where I belong
The emptiness that used to live
Inside of me is gone
Oh, I no longer feel the need
To reach for foolish things
'Cause Your love has a way
Of showing me what living means

You saw my need and rescued me
And touched me with Your grace
You stepped into this lonely heart
And filled the empty space

What would I be without Your love in my life
Making it worthwhile?
What would I do without Your tenderness
That's teaching me to smile?
'Cause who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope
Than I've ever dreamed
Oh, Lord, without Your mercy covering me
What would I be?

Of all the places You could live
You choose to live in me
This is more amazing
Than I ever could believe
I know Your perfect sacrifice
Is what has given me new life
Oh, what would I be?

What would I be without Your love in my life
Making it worthwhile?
What would I do without Your tenderness
That's teaching me to smile?
Who I am today is not who I would have been
In You my heart's more full of hope
Than I've ever dreamed
Oh, Lord, without Your mercy covering me
What would I be?
