(Paid for with) His Blood

I carried my mistakes

In a sack across my back

Every step another memory

Of my bridges burned to black

Wouldn’t look at my reflection

Tried to bury what I’d done

And the shame, it kept me hating

The man that I’d become

From a sacred olive garden

To a cross upon a hill

Every debt was fully paid for

When He chose the Father’s will

I surrender all the lies that bind me

Lay the weight of what I’ve done

I can fully let it go

Turn to Him, trust in the Son

So I lay it down, stop hiding

I don’t have to turn and run

I am not what I’ve become

My sins were paid for with His blood

You just sit there in the silence

Your head sinking in your hands

You don’t dare look up at anyone

Convinced they wouldn’t understand

You keep your head a little lower

Afraid you’re just too flawed

’Cause if they saw the real you

They’d know you’re a fraud

From a sacred olive garden

To a cross upon a hill

Every debt was fully paid for

When He chose the Father’s will

Surrender all the lies that bind you

Lay the weight of what you’ve done

You can fully let it go

Turn to Him, trust in the Son

So lay it down, stop hiding

You don’t have to turn and run

You are not what you’ve become

Your sins were paid for with His blood

We build our towers to the sky

We ignore the Father’s call

We mock the things of Heaven

Then we desecrate it all

We worship everything we own

We steal, we lie, we cheat, and kill

We corrupt, we abuse, then call it good

We know it’s wrong, but do it still

In the garden, He was kneeling

While the world slept through the night

Every sin and every sorrow

Pressed on Him with all its might

Till His sweat became like blood

Dripping heavy to the ground

For all the pain and every secret

For all the lost and broken down

From a sacred olive garden

To a cross upon a hill

Every debt was fully paid for

When He chose the Father’s will

Surrender all the lies that bind us

Lay the weight of what we’ve done

We can fully let it go

Turn to Him, trust in the Son

So lay it down, stop hiding

We don’t have to turn and run

We are not what we’ve become

Our sins were paid for with His blood

Our sins were paid for with His blood

Our sins were paid for with His blood
