The nails in Your hands
The nails in Your feet
tell me how much You love me.
The thorns on Your brow
They tell me how
You bore so much shame to love me.
And when the Heavens pass away
All Your scars will still remain
And forever they will say
Just how much You love me.
Forever my love
Forever my heart
Forever my life is Yours
It's Yours
The nails in Your hands
The nails in Your feet
tell me how much You love me
The thorns on Your brow
They tell me how
You bore so much shame to love me
And when the Heavens pass away
All Your scars will still remain
and forever they will say
Just how much You love me.
Forever my love
Forever my heart
Forever my life is Yours
It's Yours
And when the Heavens pass away
All Your scars will still remain
and forever they will say
how much You love me.
Forever my love
Forever my heart
Forever my life is yours
It's Yours
It's Yours
It's Yours...
And when the Heavens pass away
All Your scars will pass away
and forever they will say
how much You love me
Forever my love
Forever my heart
Forever my life is Yours
