Cause I was lost on an open road when you sent something to me

I couldn't hold it in my shaking hands, it was awful hard to see

But the weight that hung around my neck, it was lifted, I was free

To be all the things he wanted me to be.

And I was shaking and my eyes were closed in some dirty old hotel

An open heart but an emptied soul was too heavy so I fell

And there on my knees in my company was a story I could tell

About redemption, it's still ringing like a bell.

Pick me up and dust me off and leave it open on the cross

And I will stay here on my knees till you send for me

Cause I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be

So tell me please, that you'll send for me, jesus save me.

And I could feel it in my dirty clothes as his blood washed over me

And why I'm getting it, nobody knows, it's just luck for me to see

Cause I will never earn his firm concern when it comes concerning me

Cause I was blind, then he came here and now I'm free.

So pick me up and dust me off and leave it open on the cross

And I will stay here on my knees till you send for me

Cause I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be

So tell me please, that you'll send for me, oh jesus save me.

Oh and I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be

Tell me please, will you send for me, and jesus save me?

Oh, jesus save me.
