Filthy man was I who took his walk in stride
Clearly it would take more effort than I had thought
Brought out from the darkest place, and put into the light
God had His hands on me all the time
God had His hands on me all the time
Stubborn man was I who pushed His hands aside
I don't need Your grace I can do this on my own
I don't need Your grace I can do this on my own
I don't need Your grace I can do this on my own
What a lost man was I, stuck in my own ways
What a lost man was I stuck in my
What a lost man was I who was stuck in my own ways
But I understand the cross, and what its done
Filthy man was I
Stubborn man was I
This song talks about how I was in a dark place, I got to a point where I didn't even care about what I was doing. I had a mind set that I was saved anyways. I became a Josh that I didn't even know anymore, I did things I thought that I would never do. I allowed myself to give into my fleshly desires, and it was destroying me. I thought I could do it on my own, I thought I was strong enough. I thought wrong. I was taking advantage of God's grace! How dare I, gahh I just didn't get it. God has brought me out of that place, I am a new creation! I am spotless in His eyes, a new vessel to be used by Him. There is no condemnation! I am free, and sure I still struggle with sin, just like anyone else, but there is this beautiful thing called grace that has covered all that I have, and will do. That perfect sacrifice that Jesus came and made. But jeez, I don't want to take advantage of His grace, don't take advantage of it! Instead worship Him, serve Him. He is jealous for us! And oh my goodness does He love us!
