Verse 1
I was hiding in the shadows I was bowed beneath the weight Of the words that tried to name me Of the fear I could not shake But Your mercy spoke a better word And Your cross has made a way Now the voice of condemnation Cannot hold me any more
Chorus
No more shame No more fear Jesus, You have called me near No more hiding No more blame I am covered by Your grace At the cross You spoke forgiveness In Your love I am made new No more shame has any power Now my heart belongs to You
Verse 2
You are gentle with the broken You are kindness for the weak You do not turn away the weary You have mercy when we need What was heavy, You have lifted What was lost, You have restored Now the sinner stands forgiven Safe within the Lord
Chorus
No more shame No more fear Jesus, You have called me near No more hiding No more blame I am covered by Your grace At the cross You spoke forgiveness In Your love I am made new No more shame has any power Now my heart belongs to You
Bridge
There is freedom in Your presence There is healing in Your name There is mercy for the wounded There is no more shame There is freedom in Your presence There is healing in Your name What You pardon You make holy There is no more shame
Bridge
There is freedom in Your presence There is healing in Your name There is mercy for the wounded There is no more shame There is freedom in Your presence There is healing in Your name What You pardon You make holy There is no more shame
