Last Hour of Grace

[Intro]
In the shadow of the cross, I found my way,
A last-minute plea that changed my day.
Cries and shame, a crown of thorns,
In that silent scene, a new life dawns.

[Verse 1]
Nailed to the wood, I faced my despair,
Crimes lined up, too heavy to bear.
But amid the chaos, a whisper so kind,
A King of the Jews, love I could not define.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mocked, spat upon, yet He stayed serene,
A crown of thorns, yet His gaze was clean.
In pain, in loss, I saw the truth so clear,
The Lamb was there, for me to hear.

[Chorus]
On my last breath, I called His name,
Said, ‘Remember me,’ in my shame.
He turned and smiled, in the blood-stained tree
‘Tonight in paradise, you’ll be with me.

[Bridge]
Who would’ve thought that death’s dark door,
Would open wide a brighter shore?
From this cross, a call to grace,
Forever changed, I found my place.

[Verse 2]
The King of the Jews, despised and reviled
That day on the cross made me God's own child
Rejected by man wearing a crown of thorn
By his death for my sin I was reborn

[Pre-Chorus]
Mocked, spat upon, yet He stayed serene,
A crown of thorns, yet His gaze was clean.
In pain, in loss, I saw the truth so clear,
The Lamb was there, for me to hear.

[Chorus]
On my last breath, I called His name,
Said, ‘Remember me,’ in my shame.
He turned and smiled, in the blood-stained tree
‘Tonight in paradise, you’ll be with me.

[Bridge]
Who would’ve thought that death’s dark door,
Would open wide a brighter shore?
From this cross, a call to grace,
Forever changed, I found my place.

[Outro]
Just one moment, turned my fate,
From sinner’s night to Heaven’s gate.
All my crimes washed away by love’s light,
In that last hour, I found my right.
