[Intro]
Blood on the altar
Ash in the air
I walked through the ruin
Daring You to care
[Verse 1]
Knuckles split from swinging at the sky
Bottle on the floor
Asking "Who am I?"
Every promise that I broke
Still burned in Your side like smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the nails
I took the blame
You wore my shame
You spoke my name
[Chorus]
Crown of thorns
Crown of fire (woah)
You took my hell
Raised me higher
From the grave to the choir I sing
Jesus Christ
My Lord
My King
Crown of thorns
Crown of fire
Every chain on me
You severed the wire
On this rock
I stand and scream
Jesus Christ
My Lord
My King
[Verse 2]
I heard Your mercy in the thunder’s roar
Lion in the storm at my front door
Scars like banners on Your skin
Opened up the gate
Pulled me in
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the nails
I took the blame
You tore the veil
I’m not the same
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hands raised high in the darkest night
Every demon fades at the sound of Your light
[breakdown]
I was dead
But You called my name
I was ash
Now I burn with flame
[gang vocals]
JESUS! JESUS!
Be my battle cry
JESUS! JESUS!
Live in me
Or let me die
[Chorus]
