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
And I'd forgotten those words, your name won't be denied
Oohh, I'd forgotten those words, your name won't be denied
And 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, this pain, this guilt, this strife
Would you take it all away, if I were to give you back my life

Oohh yeahhhh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

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, oohhh, yeahh
