lyrics

Countless sacrifices, offered blood
Dead carcasses for what I’ve done
Our futile dam against the flood
Parroting some words up on a screen
Showing up to church just to be seen
The preacher talks, my insides scream

Because instead of a law that we nail up on our walls
You want it living in our hearts
We were never clean, even before 33 A.D.
All this stuff could never save me

That’s why You said You don’t like our empty sacrifices
That’s why You told us You were sending Your Servant Son

To make You known in my heart
In my soul, in my mind
To purify this broken conscience
In Your presence I surrender, Make me whole

The violence that we see is not the end
The cross atones, the life amends
But only blood could bring forgiveness

That must be why You’re always focused on the inside
To give us any hope to live You had to come and die

You don’t settle for a shadow of love
When every perfect gift is from above
It’s the only plan to save us
From just playing games and living the same
To people of peace washed in Your blood
