'Cause I was lost on an open road when you sent something to me
I couldn't hold it in my shaking hands, it was awful hard to see
But the weight that hung around my neck, it was lifted, I was free
To be all the things he wanted me to be
And I was shaking and my eyes were closed in some dirty old hotel
An open heart but an empty soul was too heavy so I fell
And there on my knees in my company was a story I could tell
About redemption, it's still ringing like a bell
To pick me up and dust me off and leave it up and on the cross
And I will stay here on my knees till you send for me
'Cause I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be
So tell me please, that you'll send for me, Jesus save me
And I could feel it in my dirty clothes as his blood washed over me
And why I'm getting it, nobody knows, it's just luck for me to see
'Cause I will never earn his firm concern when it comes concerning me
'Cause I was blind, then he came here and now I'm free
So pick me up and dust me off and leave it up and on the cross
And I will stay here on my knees till you send for me
'Cause I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be
So tell me please, that you'll send for me, Jesus save me
Oh and I'm still covered by the ashes of the man I used to be
Tell me please, will you send for me, and Jesus save me?
Oh, Jesus save me
