[Verse 1]
I never saw your face
But I heard about your story
You died in my place
So I could see your glory
You loved me before I had faith
And my life was forever changed

[Chorus]
I lived my life trying to fix the hurt inside of me
But never could give up the guilt and just be free
I acted like a long-lost son
But you forgave what I've done
You are more than my religion

[Verse 2]
You never left my side
Through all the choices I made
When my foolish pride
Kept trying to earn your grace
You told me to come as I am
And your truth made me into a better man

[Chorus]
I lived my life trying to fix the hurt inside of me
But never could give up the guilt and just be free
I followed you in every way
But you're more than what I've done
You are more than my religion

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
(You are more) More than what I do or say
(You are more) To be worthy of your grace
(You are more) You're the reason I have faith
You're everything in every way
(You are more) More than the mistakes I made
(You are more) More than all the guilt and shame
(You are more) Your blood washed my sins away
This is how it feels to be saved

[Chorus]
I lived my life trying to fix the hurt inside of me
But never could give up the guilt and just be free
I’ll follow you ‘till my last day
'Cause of everything you’ve done
You are more than my religion
You are more than my religion
