Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is that God would have mercy on you after you’ve finally told the truth about yourself. You can name the wrong you’ve done. You can remember who paid for it. If someone asked what you’d done to deserve a place with God, you’d be hard pressed to give an answer.
That’s where the hymn finds us. The man singing knows he was lost, and he knows what it means to be found. The same grace that opened his eyes to what he’d become gave him hope when he saw it. Christ had already paid what he could never pay. All he could do was trust Him and receive what He gave.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” —Ephesians 2:8
