What did You see in me, Father?
• Written by LesterTan04
I-
Hands shaking, trying my best
Heart hiding in my chest
All the failures, fears and tears
I’m counting them instead of rest
With all many faces in this world
Why would You look at mine?
Though I feel always the last in line
Still You call me Your “son”
[Chorus]
What did You see in me, Father?
When I could only see the shame
Through Your Appointed Son
I am given a new name
Out of the millions, You found my heartbeat
Pulled me from the deepest sea
Oh, what did You see in me, Father
That You would choose someone like me?

I have believed in my doubts
Told myself I’m not enough
Built my home in empty rooms
Far from tenderness and trust
Then Your kindness broke the locks
Light spilling through the cracks
You held every hidden scar
Gave the broken pieces back
[Chorus]
What did You see in me, Father?
When I could only see the shame
Through Your Appointed Son
I am given a new name
Out of the millions, You found my heartbeat
Pulled me from the deepest sea
Oh, what did You see in me, Father
That You would choose someone like me?
[Bridge]
You called me beloved
You called me by Your name
You saw a story under all this silence
You saw a heart that could carry Your flame
You saw a home for Your endless kindness
You saw a place to pour out Your grace
[Chorus]
What did You see in me, Father?
When I could only see the shame
You wrapped my ruins in Your mercy
You wrote my sorrow in Your name
Out of the millions, You hold me closer
Whisper who I’m meant to be
Oh, what did You see in me, Father
That You would choose
You would choose
Someone like me?
