When I Reached the End of Me

Written by Gene Ezell

Gene Ezell, Chris White/BMI

[VERSE 1]
I was running in circles…getting nowhere fast
Tryin’ to get away from… a prodigal past
Til I found the limit …of what I could do myself
And I knew right then… I needed God’s help

[PRE]
Now I’m not running… not looking over my shoulder
Cause the Lord’s promised me….my old life is over

[CHORUS]
Oh, When I reached the end of me
That’s where I found Jesus
He gave me hope and strength
And loved me in my weakness…..

He showed up with grace and kindness
When I was down to nothing
That’s where I found Jesus……
When I reached the end of me

[VERSE 2]
I quit looking to the right …quit looking to the left
(I) Turned my eyes to the Lord…. not anything else
I saw I couldn’t do it…. on my own any more
So I surrendered all …. gave myself to the Lord

[PRE 2]
Yeah, I stepped aside… and let the Savior start working
Said good bye to myself ….and hello to His mercy

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
I stopped trying to make my way 
Down a desperate road alone
That’s when the faithful Savior 
Met me with love and hope

[CHORUS]
