Verse 1:
Dark and dreary night
I gotta win this fight

I wanna make it end
But I see a light
I see my mother's weeping eyes

Want her shoulder as I cry
Father, please give me the strength to die
Please give me the strength to die


Chorus:
I could have run - I could have fled

Chose to die for you instead
Nothing to prove - everything to lose
Master, in You I take refuge

I was born for this -- I was formed for this
To give testimony to the truth
You make all things new

You make all things
You make all things new


Verse 2:
Once upon a time
I healed eyes that were blind

I used to be a child
I was much like you
Now though I know what you will say

Give the verdict anyway
Cuz, as promised I'm here to stay
You know I'm here to stay


-Chorus-


Pre-bridge:
"He was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our inequities.
By His wounds we are healed." --Isaiah 53:4-5

By His wounds we are healed

Bridge:

Crucified - Homicide
I am the Way the Truth, the Life
Sacrificed - Paid the price

The hurt in your eyes keeps the pain alive
Suffocation -- Liberation
The key to your salvation

The fire that you desire
No greater love -- no higher higher
No sin survived -- the slate is wiped

As I die I save your life

-Chorus-


Verse 3:
My heart is ready

Father, take me
The air in thinning
But good is winning

Believe in Me -- I can set you free
"Avi, beyadkha afkid rukhi."
(Father, into Your hands, I commend my spirit.)
