Devotion
Marty Sampson

Verse 1
I’ve been running trying to be one who sees
I’ve been working this salvation out of my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
We are redeemed.

Verse 2
I’m believing, trusting in creative hands.
I am praying for our world to bow to your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable,
To take up my cross and follow you, Lord.

Chorus
When you stand the tall trees and mountains bow,
When you speak the fiercest of oceans is still.
And I see the sinner seeks devotion,
The lost become chosen and I fall to my knees.

Verse 3
I’m forgiven by a savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless; I was lost in shamefulness,
I’m delivered but it doesn’t seem right,
Unless I keep my eyes focused on the savior who gave his live.

In the middle of a world that denies it believes,
It is breaking apart at the very seams.
There is one thought to be alive for,
To take up this cross and follow you, Lord
