Story behind the song
Once while playing bass guitar in church I was privileged to watch a young lady receive Christ. Looking from the band platform toward the back of the church I saw… Well let the song tell you the story.
Lyrics
I saw you hesitate, and then walk in,
Taking a seat among the rows
Behind your mask of stone, you sat so still
Your heart was just like ice silent and froze
You watched us offer praise our voices raised in waves of joy
Hands stiffly by your side you stood there like a china toy
You needed someone to wash away your stain of sin
You needed someone to love you back to life again
You felt love's spirit and life began to stir again
Your tears began to fall; you realized where you had been
I watched as God's pure word, water of life
Poured out in rivers from above
As you began to cry, resistance fled
Before the knowledge of God's precious son.
You asked him in your heart as I rejoiced on bended knees
Your ears had finally heard I knew god's truth had set you free
You needed someone to take away your guilt and sin
You needed Jesus and courage to be born again
You found his spirit and life began anew again
You found such peace and joy when you surrendered all to him
I saw the melting then on your sweet face
As you gave Jesus all your cares
And there beneath your feet, your burdens fell
Dissolving in your tears of joy and praise
Glory to God I cried, Love's hammer broke your mask of stone
I cried in memory, as it fell down beside my own
We found that someone, willing to pay our debt for sin
This man called Jesus, has brought us back to life again
We found his spirit; life hasn't been the same since then
We found such peace and joy when we surrendered all to him
We found such peace and joy when we surrendered all to him
