I was the one with blood on my hands
He was the one who became what I am
And after all this time I still cannot believe
The God of all the universe would give His all for me
He didn't have the heart to see me
Hanging there between two thieves
Whose sins were not so different than my own
He didn't have the heart to let me
Bear the weight of my despair
For I could never carry it alone
So He took the cross that I deserved
And gave me grace back in return
He could have just let justice do its part
But He didn't have the heart
His love was so great that He could not walk away
From the debt that I owe but I could not pay
He knew that it would be far too much for me
So He became the sacrifice that I could never be
He didn't have the heart to see me
Hanging there between two thieves
Whose sins were not so different than my own
He didn't have the heart to let me
Bear the weight of my despair
For I could never carry it alone
So He took the cross that I deserved
And gave me grace back in return
He could have just let justice do its part
But He didn't have the heart
It should have been my cross
It should have been my crown of thorns
It should have been my wounds, my blood, my pain
But it was my sin
And it was my shame
He didn't have the heart to see me
Hanging there between two thieves
Whose sins were not so different than my own
He didn't have the heart to let me
Bear the weight of my despair
For I could never carry it alone
So He took the cross that I deserved
And gave me grace back in return
He could have just let justice do its part
But He didn't have the heart
So He took the cross that I deserved
And gave me grace back in return
He could have just let justice do its part
But He didn't have the heart
