[C]I could run a thousand miles, [Am]to win the race of life.
But what’s the [G]value, without [F]You?
[C]I could write a thousand psalms, to cap[Am]tivate your heart.
But more than [G]offerings, Lord, you [F]seek the depths of me.


[C]When you see me, [Am]you see my heart.
[G]Through the eyes of your mercy, [F]in the light of your son.
[C]You love me, [Am]with open arms.
[G]And the pride of a [F]father.


[C]I was once a prodigal, [Am]burdened by my shame.
Till You came [G]running, to remind [F]me.
[C]Your love is unconditional, and [Am]in your eyes I’m worthy of.
[G]forgiveness, oh, what was [F]lost is now redeemed.


[F]Who am I that You love me?
[C]Who am I that You saved my soul?
[Am]Who am I without you, [G]Lord?
[F]Who am I to be worthy?
[C]Who am I that You’re mindful of me?
[Am]Who am I that you call me [G]yours?


[C]When you see me, [Am]you see my heart.
[G]Through the eyes of your mercy, [F]in the light of your son.
[C]You love me, [Am]with open arms.
[G]And the pride of a [F]father. [C]
