Lyrics: (Anthony Skinner, © BETHEL MUSIC)

I was afraid; Your love set me free
I was in debt; You paid the price for me
I was hurt; You took away my pain

I was alone until You called my name
I was broken and You mended me
Before I was, You love me

You healed my body and You made me whole
No matter what I do you don't let go

Chorus:
I will sing to the King: I am the ransomed one
How I love Your holy name
Holy to the Lamb who was slain
When I laugh and when I cry
You are the reason why
How I long to be with You
Forever and a day

Vs:
When I go to bed, You are near
When I wake up, You are there
When I call Your name, You are here
When I walk in faith, You're everywhere

You catch and save every tear I cry
You journal everyday all about my life
Your love for me reaches to the sky
I am Yours -- You are mine

I was ashamed,
You called me beautiful
Now I'm Yours,
You called me beautiful

I wanna be heaven-minded
I wanna be like You, Daddy God

OH MY GOSH BEST SONG EVER !!!

[takitheterrible]

@manuellayenga 2 months ago, I would've thought you were crazy for saying that this is the "best song ever." But right now, I can't name a better song that I've ever heard in my life. The second verse -- just to think about it -- it's amazing.

[jdmguitar100]

I know this song is intended to glorify Jesus but when you add up the pronouns, lyrically the worshipper gets the Lion (of Judah's) share of the attention.

[takitheterrible]

@jdmguitar100 Though this song uses "I" and "me" a lot, the first verse is devoted to saying how depraved "I" am and the second to say "I" am never alone. The bridge is "I" was ashamed, "You" call me beautiful. It's not bad this songs uses "I" and "me" a lot. It's the perfect testimony.

[TheDom66]

A Bethel cover of this song? Awesome stuff man! Thanks for sharing! :)

[takitheterrible]

@TheDom66 I think Anthony Skinner writes for them. I know he does the School of Worship and they cover him frequently.

[mrstzeed]

so amazing I love this song.... heard it on 91.5 and I was like worshiping in traffic and I didn't care who saw... I love being bold for the Lord cuz He has blessed me an I know He will continue to bless me.. and with those blessings I promise to bless others...

[JohnM4jc]

i was ashamed you called me beautiful...

so good!

[utubin67]

"I want to be like You Daddy God" I found this to be utterly sweet and truly loving and just as soon as I heard it joy filled my heart, I had a bewildered smile.. and I thought it was just beautiful. What a sweetheart this loving girl has and a most amazing song I'm playing it over and over! :)

[chrishudgins]

They left out the best line: 'I was a thief, you said I stole your heart'! If you like this one, you'll love Anthony Skinner's original.

Jesus is our way to salvation!!! Beautiful song . Were singing this for our youth retreat talent show.!!!

[stephfrankie1]

beautiful song

[MSABookworm11]

God saves us from ourselves. He is the only person who can deliver us. I love the Lord.

[JustinTCB]

@takitheterrible Yeah Anthony writes for them a lot. I played with him a couple months ago at my church. The original version of this song is awesome too. Such a great guy to play music with. Mad skills haha

[nawlyns504]

@jdmguitar100 since you love to count pronouns my friend, please count all the pronouns used in the psalms and get back with me. Ok seriously I know I'm being sarcastic, but really man? This is a great song, why be so critical?
