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

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

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)

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
And 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
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

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
