[Verse] The weight of guilt it falls like rain Our quiet hearts have caused His pain With hands that build yet tear apart We played our part and broke God's heart [Chorus] Oh the nails we held in our embrace The shadows linger on His face His love is steady while we're still lost We turned away He bore the cost [Verse 2] Planned in heaven yet done below Through God's plan His love would show And still we faltered still we strayed Our sinful choice the debt He paid [Bridge] And yet despite the crimson stain His mercy pours a soft refrain Forgiveness offered not withheld In His wounds our freedom dwells [Chorus] Oh the nails we held in our embrace The shadows linger on His face His love is steady while we're still lost We turned away He bore the cost [Verse 3] Though complicit we are not forsaken His grace unearned His promise unshaken By wicked hands He bore those thorns Through his death our life was born
