This gentle but powerful ballad was written as a confession song. While some
people perceive it as negative, I can think of nothing more positive and
uplifting than to know God loves us in spite of ourselves. "There is nothing we
can to do to make God love us more, and nothing we can do can make Him love us
less"...Phillip Yancey
This new recording (2006) features the angelic voice of Jessica Howells.
In your likeness Lord
You sent Your Son
Filled with radiance and light
When the darkness was too much to bear
He walked on earth
To show the way
To lighten up our night
But O how foolish is the heart of man
That we should love the darkness more
And in the mystery of Your wondrous plan
We cast Him down
You raised Him up
And back to life once more
How can I stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It's not because of anything I've done
You see in me, the image of Your Son
Yes I know I haven't loved You Lord
The way that You command me to,
And no matter how I try to pretend,
You look at me,
You pierce my heart,
Your eyes can see right through,
And I wonder how you love me Lord
When I'm unworthy to the core,
When good intentions
and my promises fail,
You lift me up,
You turn me round,
And call me to your door,
So I can stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It's not because of anything I've done
You see in me, the image of Your Son
Its not about who's bad or good,
Or who we are, or where,
It's all about how Jesus died
The death that I deserved
Now I can stand before You face to face
Confident and resting in Your grace
It's not because of anything I've done
You see in me, the image of Your Son
You see in me, the image of Your Son
