I remember how you strengthened my arms in the face of Goliath
I remember how you parted the sea for me to cross
I remember how you kept my head above the waters
I remember how you calmed the storm to ease my heart
I recognize the authority you gave me over serpents and scorpions
I remember you were wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquity
I remember you wrestled and got the keys of hell and death
Grace remind me just how far we've come
All the monsters you've brought low
How you crushed the head of Leviathan
How you broke the gates of brass and sawn the bars of iron
All the mountains you've shifted from their dwelling places
And how water sprang out of the dessert
All the dry bones you've given life
All the closed doors you've shattered
All I've been through, every breakthrough, it's you
For who am I?
who's flesh and blood to think highly of himself
a weak vessel on the battlefield of life
a dust you gave the breath of life
who am I without your breath flowing in my lungs?
if not you! only you!
I'm just a drop in your vast ocean, a vapor in the wind
the little sound that comes from a pin in a crowdy market
a grain of sand in the dessert
a tiny being on a pale blue dot claiming dominion over the world
a wretched being you cleansed with your blood
who am I to think highly of myself?
All I've been through, every breakthrough, it's you!
