Nothing of my past
my drive, accomplishments
all that I was
all that I believed
all for nothing
when I came to know Christ
All of my pedigree,
my training, experience
nothing compared
when I came to the cross
Seeing my savior
his grace heaped upon me
his sacrifice in my place
redeeming me from myself
reconciling me to God
