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
[Instrumental]
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
