MP3: I Am Undone

I Am Undone - Song History
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
March 13, 2013

This year has been a whirlwind. Not only am I going to be a grandfather, but a film
crew will be making a documentary of my life in the hopes of obtaining major theatrical
release. In addition and in conjunction with the movie, I am writing my life story in a
way and to such a deep level I am left feeling naked and exposed...but in a holy and
cleansing and healing way. As I think about all these things, I am overwhelmed at God’s
redeeming love in my life. As the movie is in production and the book writing is well
under way, I am more convinced than ever of God’s plan and purpose for my life...and
more convinced than ever of His deep, abiding love for me. Yes, I was once emotionally
undone by my sin yet bound in a tangle of lies and deceit...but God’s love leaves me
even more emotionally undone yet stable and on solid ground, all while he undoes/
unravels the mess sin had made of my life. This song was born in the midst of all these
happenings and, once you hear it, you will understand the awe and wonder I feel at the
revelation of God’s love in my life. That is my prayer for you as well...that you would see
and feel and experience God’s deep abiding love for you...in the here and now.

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11 NASB

Verse
You took my broken heart
Once cast aside like trash is
You made my heart brand new
Brought beauty from the ashes

And here I stand in awe
Of perfect love and power
Here I stand in awe
Of my God!

Chorus
I am undone by Your mercy
I am undone by Your grace
I am undone by Your goodness
And Your sure, strong embrace

I am undone by Your dying
I am undone by such love
I am undone by Your sacrifice
Who could love me that much?

I am undone
I am undone

Verse
You took a wasted life
And made that life worth living
You filled my heart with joy
Reduced me to thanksgiving

And here I stand in awe
Of perfect love and power
Here I stand in awe
Of my God!

Chorus

I am undone by Your mercy
I am undone by Your grace
I am undone by Your goodness
And Your sure, strong embrace

I am undone by Your dying
I am undone by such love
I am undone by Your sacrifice
Who could love me that much?

I am undone
I am undone
