[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

But time and time again

I'd live that life of sin

I knew 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

[Chorus]

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

('Cause I'd forgotten those words

Your name won't be denied)

[Verse 3]

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?

[Bridge]

But You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee

[Verse 4]

He was hanging on a cross

With a crown of thorns

In His head

He was hanging on a cross

With a crown of thorns

In His head

He was hanging on a cross

With a crown of thorns

In His head

He was hanging on a cross

With a crown of thorns

In His head

[Outro]

And You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee

And You said

I've forgiven thee
