Hephzibah

So i woke up in the morning
With only one word on my mind
It was given to me in my sleep
And i knew i just had to find
The meaning, the answer
The reason for this mystery
Oh, and i knew it came from you
'cause i felt this overwhelming peace

You said i am a crown of splendor
You said i am a royal diadem in your hand

You've called me hephzibah
You've called me hephzibah
I'm no longer forsaken, oh but to know
That you delight in me
And you call me hephzibah

So i was once desperately
Insecure and desolate
What damaged dignity
In all my sins and faults and bruises
Trying to find my beauty
Seemed impossible to me
Till you came and took my shame
And dressed me up in your glory

You said i am a crown of splendor
You said i am a royal diadem in your hand

You've called me hephzibah
You've called me hephzibah
I'm no longer forsaken, oh but to know
That you delight in me
And you call me hephzibah

What magnificent exchange
You've adorned me with your name
Your beauty for my sin
And here i stand not just forgiven
But dressed in royalty, as you rejoice over me
As a bridegroom for his bride
Now i can see you and how you really see me
