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 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 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" (repeat)      He was hanging on a cross   With a crown of thorns in His head (repeat)      But You said "I've forgiven thee"   And You said "I've forgiven thee" (repeat)
