E C#m A
it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit,
B
the sun has scorched the rising plants;
E C#m
alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather
A
strips,
B E
dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip,
C#m A
as you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart,
B E
so easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art,
C#m A
and there you have come to me at the moment I bathe in my sorrow,
B E
so in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow,
C#m A
where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
B E
and offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you,
C#m A
your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail,
B E
so faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal,
C#m A
the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs,
B E
as I walk past a smile I cast, fervor in my stead,
A C#m
but my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now,
B E
I lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow,
A C#m
I can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid,
B E
for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved,
A
and where would I fit Jesus?
C#m
what place is left for me?
B E
the price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea,
E C#m A B
Jesus my heart is all I have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy,
E C#m A
this simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough,
B E
for your body that was broken, how can this be enough?
C#m A
by me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed,
B E
yet in your arms and in your heart forever I have stayed
E C#m A
Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend,
B E
for you have loved me forever, and your love will never end
