He did, He does, He will

{fingerpicked acoustic guitar introduction,

slow swell, warm cello countermelody}

A long time ago,

I wondered how it could be,

That you came to this world,

looking for me.

Trapped in my sin,

no way to be free,

Jesus I cried,

please set me free,

and He did,

He did, He did!

{emotional raw vocals, swelling strings,

light brushed snare} In this old world,

you have nothing to lose,

Except your bad habits,

He'll change you.

The old man will die,

He makes you new,

You'll be amazed,

I was too! {warm acoustic progression,

conversational vocal delivery}

{soaring electric guitar solo with long

delay, pedal steel pitch

bends, building snare roll} If you're out there alone,

and no place to go,

He's waiting to save you,

just ask Him in.

Ask for forgiveness, walk away from your past,

Ask for God's Spirit,

be free at last!

Don't be afraid,

He'll enter your heart,

And save you from your sin,

that's what it's all about.

(oh yes He will) {climbing dynamic,

swelling choir backing, powerful rhythmic drive}

A long time ago,

I wondered how it could be,

That you came to this world,

looking for me.

Trapped in my sin,

no way to be free,

Jesus I cried, please set me free,

and He did, He does,

He will!

(He will) {triumphant full-band crescendo,

soaring lead vocals, grand finale chords}

He did, He does,

He will.

(mmm,

He will) {gently fading

acoustic guitar, solitary violin,

soft organ hum to silence}
