I stand before the cross of Christ
Knowing that I nailed Him there
It is my sins that hold Him there
He stays up there to pardon me
And I know without a doubt
I could never pay that price
He looks down with love
And I know He did this for me
And it pierces me to the heart
Because what did I ever do for Him?
As tears run down my face
And the guilt within builds up
I hear the words I don’t deserve
Coming from my master's lips
“Father, forgive them for they
Know not what they do”
And a sob builds deep inside
Because I know what I did
But I can never know all I did
And how many sins held Him there
But I know one thing for certain
Love held him there
And in His dying words
He forgave me from that cross
And I don’t have to live in shame
Baring a burden I cannot hold
For He took it all with him
To the cross on that hill
And let it die with him
And when He rose again
That sin had no hold over me
And I was free to live forevermore
And as I stand before his throne
I give Him a crown of thorns
He gives me a crown of life
