wrapped in sugar – v2

memory may fail me
but help me to be authentic
my history real
not wrapped in sugar
open before God

may the truth be told
so others may see You
how You claimed me
that I may love
that I may share Your love

only because You loved me
completely, truly,
more than I could ever say
love without merit
redeeming my life

loving me, forgiving me
though I have hurt You
though my sins sent You to the cross
wash me with Your blood
make me whole once more

wrapped in sugar – v2

Memory may fail me
but Lord help me to be authentic
my history real
not wrapped in sugar
honest before You
when I come to You in prayer
as I live out my life

May the truth be told
my need for You completely
Your plan for my life
and the mess I have made of it
so others may see You
how You claimed me
that others may see Christ

I am a Christian, I am saved
only because You loved me
completely, truly,
more than I could ever say
love without merit
that I may love, truly,
only because You loved me first

You love me without condition
whatever I may do
loving me, forgiving me
though I have hurt You
though I sent You to the cross
Lord, wash me with Your blood
make me whole once more
