[Verse 1]
I was buried in the hush of my own shame
Hands full of dust, still calling my name
Chains on my thoughts, lies in my chest
I wore that weight like it was a test
But You came close through the midnight smoke
One look from You and the old me broke
You touched the fear that I hid so deep
Then peace walked in and my soul could sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
You saw me clear
Through every tear
No fear in Your eyes
When You drew me near
The stone rolled back
The dark gave way
Now I can breathe
In a brand new day
[Chorus]
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
I was bound by sin
Now the kingdom rails
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
Open up the gates
I can hear Heaven call
[Verse 2]
You took the weight from a guilty frame
Wrote mercy down and erased my name
Where condemnation tried to take my ground
Your grace came down and it shook the crown
I was lost in the maze of my own desire
You stepped in like a holy fire
Burned through the lies, broke every chain
Now every wound can be made clean again
[Pre-Chorus]
You saw me clear
Through every tear
No fear in Your eyes
When You drew me near
The stone rolled back
The dark gave way
Now I can breathe
In a brand new day
[Chorus]
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
I was bound by sin
Now the kingdom rails
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
Open up the gates
I can hear Heaven call
[Bridge]
If You can free me, then free the world
Let every captive and every hurt
Run to the light, let the dead hearts wake
Let the prodigal sons and daughters break
I was dust, now I stand in grace
No more exile, no more chain
You made a road where none could be
Now paradise is looking at me
[Final Chorus]
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
I was bound by sin
Now the kingdom rails
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
Open up the gates
I can hear Heaven call
Jesus tore the veil
Jesus tore the veil
My heart is alive
And my soul stands tall
