'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 empty 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 To pick me up and dust me off and leave it up and 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 up and 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 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
