Â

No outward act or simple word
Could ever represent
How much I owe You, Jesus Christ
For making me repent.

Enormous pain You did endure
While nailed upon the tree.
And I, a sinner, had the nerve
To try to question Thee.

When stormy seas and troubles hit
And cause my course to slip,
I bow my head and know that You
Are Captain of my ship.

It should be obvious to me
To follow all Your will.
But for some reason I desire
To be a rebel, still.

And though no words could e’er express
The love for me You’ve shown,
I bring my voice to sing this verse
About Your love unknown.

And though no deed could be enough
To praise You for that love,
I will not cease to kneel and praise
My Jesus Christ above. Amen.
