the innocence spilled

As I Lay Dying

For so long I was deceived
Enslaved by these chains
Blinded to Your forgiveness
If only I knew Your love
Giving Your life to save me from this pain
Broken and bleeding I turned You away
Now I have seen the scars inflicted by my hands
The Innocence spilled to save me
Reaching to the hand that brought You this pain
And now I am on my knees
Crying the way You wept for me
Crying, crying tears of shame
Dying, dying to take away their pain
I hear the screams of those who call from the grave
Dying for me to take their pain
