I didn’t see the earth appear

As life flowed from His lips,

Or a human form be molded

Between His fingertips.

I didn’t see the brilliance

Of stars flung into space,

Or the love in Adam’s eyes

As he gazed upon Eve’s face.

But I have seen how His power

Has changed me from within.

I felt His peace and joy

When He pardoned every sin.

My life has been transformed,

My stony heart made flesh,

And I’ll lift my voice in thanks

Every time that I draw breath.

I didn’t feel the chisel marks

Of law engraved on stone,

Or the thickness of the smoke

As God descended from His throne.

I didn’t feel the mighty wind

That split the sea in two,

Or the shake of tumbling walls

From the city God overthrew.

But I feel His presence near me

When fear has filled my soul,

I’ve learned to claim the promise

That He’ll make the broken whole.

My life has been transformed,

My stony heart made flesh,

And I’ll lift my voice in thanks

Every time that I draw breath.

I didn’t hear the clash of waves

That struck the fishing boat,

Or the screams of His disciples

As they tried to keep afloat.

I didn’t hear the words of Christ

That made the blind men see,

Or the shouts of joy or singing

When He set the captives free.

But I’ve heard that still small voice

That fills my heart with peace.

That breaks the chains of sinfulness

And gives me sweet release.

My life has been transformed,

My stony heart made flesh,

And I’ll lift my voice in thanks

Every time that I draw breath.

So while I’ve never seen or felt

Or heard the things I’ve read,

I know from my experience

The power of what is said.

For the words of ancient Scripture

Cut deeper than a knife,

They pierce the soul and spirit,

But yet they give us life.

My praise will never cease

To the One who died for me,

Who shed His blood for sinful men

And hung upon a tree.

My life has been transformed,

My stony heart made flesh,

And I’ll lift my voice in thanks

Every time that I draw breath.
