I love this amazing song by Andrew Peterson.
I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot
I am the scattered seed that fell among the path
I am the son who ran away
I am the bitter son who stayed
My God, my God,
Why hast Thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped my in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song I sing
I am the angry men who came to stone the lover
I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd
I am the leper who gave thanks
I am the nine who never came
My God, my God,
Why hast Thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped my in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song I sing
You are the bringer of the moon and all the seasons
You are the singer of the tune that calls the stars
My God, my God
Why hast thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and your ring
My God, my God
Why hast thou accepted me
When all my love was vinegar
To a thirsty king
My God, my God
Why hast thou accepted me
It’s a mystery of mercy
And the song I sing

Humbling truths! These words remind me of so many of the old hymns that declare the writers understanding of their wretched condition when Christ called them forth from death unto life.
Wow. I've never heard the song, but the words are so true and...well just wonderful! God truly is an amazingly merciful God. How little we truly deserve!
