11:59.

So it was
You loved me in spite of all my shame
Deemed me lovely when I was covered with dirt
So it was
when You looked at me


There was no reason
why You should come
give up every thing
for my sake and die

There was no reason
why I should live
when all I did
condemned
and killed Your Heart


But yet you came
loving me in spite of all my shame
You looked at me and saw my pain
and You said,
"Child"

"I love you in spite of who you became
I know who you are and who you can be
If you will come, I'll carry your sins."


So it was
on a dark day in history
The One without sin became my sin
So it was I was redeemed
So it was
while I was a wretch, a stray, lost
from the Father you were torn away from
For my sake
So it was

2000 years ago
