Clock Strikes Ten

Was lying in bed one night, thinking about where I was in life. I looked over to my alarm clock, and it read 10:00 PM. I thought "the clock strikes ten, I'm still stuck in this den".

The clock strikes ten

I'm still stuck in this den

With all my fear, with all my doubt

It's dark, gloomy, and cold

So much for bold,

I just want to get out

I've heard about a savior

The one they say paid for

All the wrong I do

All my sin

Past, present, and future

I've been waiting for this new cure,

but it just seems to good to be true

How could someone faultless, 

Someone utterly spotless

Take the stain of sin for me?

I guess I just don't understand grace

How could he die in my place,

And me be left debt free?

I guess I just don't understand grace

I see a tear roll down his face

I did this for you, I did this for you

Lord, help me live to my full potential

In this life, that is essential

You died for me, I'll live for you

But how can I live at all

When I'm stuck behind this wall?

God, make me brand new!

Oh, son, don't you worry

Don't be in such a hurry

Let me work inside of you

You see, all things work together for good

And where you are, I once stood

Just keep your mind on the race,

Keep your eyes on my face

God, I want to so bad

I want to see your face

Want to know what love is

Want to show you my praise
