I’m the one who held the nail /it was cold between my fingertips /I’ve hidden in the garden /I’ve denied You with my very lips /God, I fall down to my knees /with a hammer in my hand /You look at me, arms open /forgiven, forgiven /child, there is freedom /from all of it /say goodbye to every sin /you are forgiven /I’ve done things I wish I hadn’t done /I’ve seen things I wish I hadn’t seen /just the thought of Your amazing grace /and I cry, “Jesus, forgive me” /God, I fall down to my knees /with a hammer in my hand /You look at me, arms open /I could’ve been six feet under /I could’ve been lost forever /yeah, I should be in that fire /but now there’s fire inside of me /here I am a dead man walking /no grave gonna hold God’s people /all the weight of all our evil /lifted away, forever free /who could believe /who could believe /forgiven, forgiven /You love me even when I don’t deserve it /forgiven, I’m forgiven /Jesus, Your blood makes me innocent /so I will say goodbye to every sin /I am forgiven, I am forgiven
“It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.’ When He had said this, He breathed His last.”
