V1
I was lost when Mercy found me
I was blind but now I see
God made me a new creation 
On the day He set me free

V2
All the burdens I once carried 
Are on the shoulders of my Lord
All the shame and guilt forgiven
They don’t haunt me  any more 

C
The GREAT I AM changed who I am
And I will never be the same again 
‘Cause I’ve been washed by His own blood
I’m no longer who I once was
The GREAT I AM changed who I am

V3
Oh, how wonderful to know him
And be saved by his sweet grace 
I will praise his name forever 
and soon see him, face-to-face

BR
I’ve been changed 
By the Great I Am 
I’ve been saved
By two nailed scarred hands
