Where I Could’ve Been

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a small town joke without hope Just trying to find my way I was the fool that lived with the consequence Of all of my mistakes I was a guilty man in my Sunday best Sweatin' in all my shame If the road I was on hadn't led headlong Into amazing grace [Chorus] I would've been a lost cause Would've been written off But there's a hope that don't give in I should've been a long gone Nowhere to call home But there's a peace that never ends When I couldn't see He rescued me Oh, ain't it just like Jesus to love me where I am And not just leave me where I could've been [Verse 2] I'd still be wakin' up Down on my luck Sleeping in the bed I'd made I was as bad as the worst My name was a curse Just wastin my whole life away And then one day, I got outta my way Gave the good Lord above my life If it wasn't for that rugged cross And the mercy of Jesus Christ [Chorus] I would've been a lost cause I would've been written off But there's a hope that don't give in I should've been a long gone Nowhere to call home But there's a peace that never ends When I couldn't see He rescued me Oh, ain't it just like Jesus to love me where I am And not just leave me where I could've been Leave me where I could've been [Bridge] When I'm looking back on my crazy past Only thing I've got figured out The trails I blazed, mistakes I made Doesn't change what He's doing right now [Chorus] I would've been a lost cause I would've been written off But there's a hope that don't give in Should've been a long gone Nowhere to call home But there's a peace that never ends When I couldn't see He rescued me Oh, ain't it just like Jesus to love me where I am And not just leave me where I could've been
