By Your Wounds

[Verse 1]
I bring my fractures
All my hidden faults
Every quiet failure
Every secret thought
You see the sickness
Under flawless skin
You touch the places
I keep buried in
[Chorus]
You were pierced for my transgressions
You were crushed for what I’ve done
The punishment that brought me peace
Was laid upon the Holy One
By Your wounds
By Your wounds I am healed
By Your wounds
By Your wounds I am healed (oh oh)
[Verse 2]
You take my anger
You take my shame
You carry stories
I can’t even name
I hear You praying
For the ones who stray
“Father
Forgive them”
Still You say today
[Chorus]
You were pierced for my transgressions
You were crushed for what I’ve done
The punishment that brought me peace
Was laid upon the Holy One
By Your wounds
By Your wounds I am healed
By Your wounds
By Your wounds I am healed
[Bridge]
Every scar on You
Speaks a word to me
“I have paid it full
You can live free”
Every drop that fell
Writes my mercy song
I was lost and torn
Now I’m carried home (yeah)
[Chorus]
You were pierced for my transgressions
You were crushed for what I’ve done
The punishment that brought me peace
Was laid upon the Holy One
By Your wounds
By Your wounds I am healed
By Your wounds
Only You
I am healed
