King of Hearts

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] I saw the nails I heard the hammer King of the Jews Carved into a wooden banner Made You a crown Bloodied Your temple You could have come down But in silence, we both trembled [Chorus] You gave Your life, I gave You nothing You poured me grace, I poured You poison But still You drank my cup of shame With all that I've done, could I be forgiven? Is there still a way to enter Your kingdom? I'm just a thief beside a King King of hearts [Verse 2] I looked to my side I only had seconds Please remember we met When You're seated high in Heaven He spoke in a whisper Looking deep in my eyes Said, "Son, this time tomorrow, we will be in paradise" [Chorus] 'Cause You gave Your life, I gave You nothing You poured me grace, that blood keeps on running A love so great, you took my place After all that I've done, I've been forgiven Those scars made a way to enter Your kingdom? On golden streets beside a King [Bridge] King of the poor, King of the lowly King of the broken, King of the lonely King of the hopeless, King of the gone-too-fars King of hearts King of the lost, King of the guilty King of the misfits, King of the filthy King of critics, King of the brand-new start King of hearts [Chorus] You gave Your life, I gave You nothing You poured me grace, that blood keeps on running A love so great, You took my place After all that I've done, I've been forgiven Those scars made a way to enter Your kingdom On golden streets, redeemed and free A beloved thief right beside His King King of hearts
