One day I stood in emptiness
With not a place to go
Looking at my filthy sin
The tears began to flow.

I felt so helpless, with no hope
Of making change in me
My head dropped in such shame
I fell upon my knees.

I cried out Lord if you are there
My sins please take away
This burden is so heavy
I can't bear this load today.

I need a heart transplant Lord
Which only you can do.
Forgive me of my sinful life
I give my heart to you.

Suddenly an inner peace
Filled my heart and soul
And when I raised up from my knees
I knew I'd been made whole.

You can have the same this day
If to the Lord you'll go
Cry out to him, he'll hear your plea
Forgiveness he'll bestow.

His love for you can't be described
In only a few words
But if you spend some time with Him
He'll change the heart that hurts.

He'll take you from the deepest pit
Fill you with His love
Then take you to the mountaintops
Show you things above.

I've been to lofty mountaintops...
I've been in the depths of darkness...
The Lord has always held my hand...
and I know He'll do the same for you.
