My fallen figure shames the earth;
Once I was born, yet never I lived.
Never forsaking you came to me.
Giving my life and breaking my chains.
Tenderly You gathered me up;
Filled with love and sweating blood.
Ever patient, You taught me the Word,
Carved in my heart, it for-ev-er re-mains.
verse 2
Never I knew what life should be;
All I can do is follow Your way.
When on the path, I stumble and fall.
Turning You give the courage I need.
Though the path is narrow and steep;
Cruel thorns leave a trail of blood,
Still I pledge I will follow the Way,
Follow as far as my Father will lead.
verse 3
Freed from a sleep so deep and dark,
gladly I wake to knowing Your Will.
Though death may stab me time and again,
Nothing can change a loy-al heart.
This I pledge, my life is for You;
For Your will I rush forward to die.
This I pledge 'till the struggle is done,
'Till we proclaim the vic-to-ri-ous day.
