When I Accepted You Songtext
von Debby Boone

You were poor
So that I might enjoy
The wealth of your creation
You were punished
For all my mistakes
So I′d be declared not guilty by association
You took all that I am heir to
And gave me all that belonged to you
What more could anyone do

When I accepted you
I never realized
That I'd be accepted too
It took awhile to see
That you bore God′s rejection
So he'd never turn away from me I never knew
I would receive so much
When I accepted you, accepted you


You met death
So that I might know life
And eternal restoration
You took on the world
So the likeness of God
Could be drawn upon my being
Like a blood relation
The deepest needs my lifetime through
Were all met on the cross by you
What more could anyone do

When I accepted you
I never realized
That I'd be accepted too
It took awhile to see
That you bore God′s rejection
So he′d never turn away from me I never knew
I would receive so much
When I accepted you
When I accepted you
Oh, I never knew
I would receive so much
When I accepted you, accepted you.
