Verse 2:
Where now are the friends that I had bought
Gone with every penny lost
What hope could there be for such as I

Oh, to see Your face again, it seems so distant now
Could it be that You would take me back
A servant in Your house

You held out Your arms, I walked away

Insolent, I spurned Your face

Squandering the gifts You gave to me

Destitute, a rebel still, a fool in all my pride

No joy, no hope, no life

Verse 2:

Where now are the friends that I had bought

Gone with every penny lost

What hope could there be for such as I

Sold out to a world of lies

Oh, to see Your face again, it seems so distant now

Could it be that You would take me back

A servant in Your house

Verse 3:

Am C G Am

You held out Your arms, I see them still

You never left, You never will

Am C G Am

Running to embrace me, now I know

F C G Am

Your cords of love will always hold

You sing over me and celebrate
