I was lost, didn't know my future
So alone, couldn't see who He was
But He chose me, changed my life completely
Fixed my heart, cleansed me and made me holy
It was no good that I've done
To make You call me one of Your sons
Couldn't pay the price to save my life
But You took the cost, and found what was lost
(Chorus)
Call me righteous, since He changed my nature
Call me righteous, changed my name
Call me righteous, I'm a brand new creature
Call me righteous, I'm not the same
I can't believe it, He knew all bout me
Still He loved me enough to forgive me
I never thought my name would be royal
Since He gave I will give Him all
It was no good that I've done
To make You call me one of Your sons
Couldn't pay the price to save my life
But You picked up the cost
And You brought back what was lost
(Chorus)
Baptized me, justified me, purified me
When He changed my nature
Sanctified me, glorified me
When He changed my name
He just called me righteous, say
For be grace we are saved
It's a grace thing
My name has been changed
He just called me righteous, say
