When I Stand Before Him

Mm. When I stand before Him With nothing left to say. No more lies to hide behind. No more time To run away. Every step I walked alone, Every word I couldn't take, Will be written in the silence of the choices That I made. I hear the echo of my life in every Breath I take tonight. When I stand before Him, Will I fall or will I stand? Will He see the man I became Or just the one I am? Will His mercy reach my soul Through everything I've been? Or will I face forever All the places I have sinned? I remember all the warnings, all the Times I turned away. I heard His voice in quiet moments. I just chose another way. I chased shadows in the distance. Called it freedom, called it truth. But the road that I was walking only led Me far from You. Now the night is getting closer, And I feel it in my Bones. When I stand before Him, Will He call me by my name? Or will silence be the answer to the life I couldn't change? Will His grace be like an ocean washing over All my past? Or will I stand there empty, Facing everything at last? If a broken heart still matters, If a sinner still can pray, Then hear me now, My Father, Don't turn Your face away. When I stand before Him, I won't have a place to hide. Every truth I tried escaping will be standing At my side. But if mercy is still greater than the life I chose to live, Then I fall down at Your feet And ask You to forgive. When I stand before Him, Let me not stand alone. Call me by my name And lead me home.
