United With Christ

[Verse 1]
Once I was distant
Running in circles
Wasting my breath
Chasing a shadow
Empty and broken
As good as dead
Heart full of questions
Heavy with shame I could never lift
Then You came near me
Spoke through the silence
Called me Your gift
[Chorus]
Yet look at me now
Everything is new
You brought me so close
I’m alive in You
By the sacred blood
You opened my eyes
I was far away
Now I’m by Your side
United with Christ
United with Christ
[Verse 2]
Grace in the courtroom
Mercy that stood where my sentence was
Love on the altar
Lifting my head with a wounded love
Raised up from ashes
Seated in places I don’t deserve
Your word is my story
Breathing the life I could never earn
[Chorus]
Yet look at me now
Everything is new
You brought me so close
I’m alive in You
By the sacred blood
You opened my eyes
I was far away
Now I’m by Your side
United with Christ
United with Christ
[Bridge]
I was lost
But now I’m home (oh oh)
I was dead
But now I know
Every step
I stand in grace
Held forever in Your name
[Chorus]
Yet look at me now
Everything is new
You brought me so close
I’m alive in You
By the sacred blood
You opened my eyes
I was far away
Now I’m by Your side
United with Christ
United with Christ

Modern worship ballad with gentle piano, warm pads, and subtle acoustic guitar; male or female vocals up close and intimate in the verses, swelling into a soaring, harmony-rich chorus. Soft kick and toms enter on the second half, with a simple, anthemic build and a lingering, reverent outro.
