In the garden of Gethsemane
Where angels weep for all His scorn
He knelt and prayed in agony
For a world so lost and torn
The weight of sin upon His shoulders
The burden of a love so pure
In His silence, strength unspoken
For our souls, He would endure
Oh, the price of love so deep
A promise He would keep
Skin in the game, His blood was shed
A crown of thorns upon His head
For every heart, for every name
He bore the weight, skin in the game
On the cross, He breathed forgiveness
With His final, sacred breath
Breaking chains, embracing sorrow
Conquering the sting of death
In the echoes of His suffering
Lies the hope of life renewed
In His wounds, we find our healing
In His pain, our souls are soothed
Oh, the price of love so deep
A promise He would keep
Skin in the game, His blood was shed
A crown of thorns upon His head
For every heart, for every name
He bore the weight, skin in the game
In every step, we give our all
We hear His voice and heed His call
Through every trial we call His Name
And sacrifice skin in the game
Through loss, through gain
We follow Him, skin in the game
Skin in the game, His blood was shed
A crown of thorns upon His head
For every heart, for every name
He bore the weight, skin in the game
In the end, when shadows fall
We'll stand in light, and Heed His call
For in His love, we do the same
We sacrifice, skin in the game
For in His love, we do the same
We sacrifice, skin in the game
