If You came by me would I crown You my King Or brush You off as though I really didn't see If You walked by my side would our souls then be unified I swore Your name would never be denied
But I took up this hammer And laughed at all your slander And pierced Your hands With the nails of blasphemy How could I do this? I don't know Said something forced me to it, so Spit in Your face and passed You by (I'd forgotten those words "Your name won't be denied")
But time and time again I'd live that life of sin I know it hurt You bad but I wasn't ready to give in Maybe someday but not this day I said I wanted to live my life I was willing to pay the price
But looking into my eyes I knew You felt this heart's cry I needed You bad my life was oh so sad But looking back at all this pain this guilt, this strife Would You take it all away if I were to give You back my life?
But You said, "I've forgiven thee" And You said, "I've forgiven thee"
He was hanging on a cross With a crown of thorns in His head
But You said, "I've forgiven thee" And You said, "I've forgiven thee"
