Totally Depraved

There I am totally depraved
I didn't know how I was gonna be saved
I kept floundering in this world of sin
I didn't know where to begin

Then someone handed me a tract
I said hey man what is up with that
He said I should take a look at it
Cause he thought it was legit

It started talking about a guy called Christ
And what He did with His life
It spoke about all that He gave us
It said His name was Jesus

and that

I am utterly, completely, totally depraved
I was elected by God's grace
Nothin' could have made me think twice
That abundant joy sounded so nice

Right then and there I made my decision
I had Christ come and fill the division
Now there's a bridge between I and God above
My life's abounding with His love

I am utterly, completely, totally depraved
I was elected by God's grace
Nothin' could have made me think twice
This abundant joy is so very nice


Though I still fail in every single way
I let God come and save the day
I know I still mess up a lot
But thankfully it's according to His plot

I am utterly, completely, totally depraved
I was elected by God's grace
Nothin' could have made me think twice
This abundant joy is so very nice


I pray that I'll serve Him every single day
Throughout all of my ways
I don't deserve all that He's given me
Depraved I am in entirety

I like this...song? verses? words? Whatever you want to call it. One question: what genre is it? Like gospel? worship? rock? what? lol

My dad said to tell you that you can room at my house if you wanted to come down for the ball or whatever. I said that I doubted it would happen but I'd let you know. And so I am. And I have.

Yes, It's a song. Pop/Rock is the genre in my head but who knows what it will actually turn out to be.

OK. Well I will keep the offer in mind. Maybe I'll be able to go, but yes it is doubtful.
