C Am F
it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit
G
the sun has scorched the rising plants
C Am
alas they have no root the bleached bones of animals bound by leather
F
strips,
G C
dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip
Am F
as you did warn me carpenter this world has weakened my heart
G C
so easily I disparage self-seeking the work of my art
Am F
and there you have come to me at the moment I bathe in my sorrow
G C
so in love with myself sought after avoiding tomorrow
Am F
where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you
G C
and offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you
Am F
your beauty does bereave me and how my words do fail
G C
so faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal
Am F C
the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs
G Am
as I walk past a smile I cast fervor in my stead
F C
but my bones like plastic do buckle backward now
G C
I lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow
F Am
I can not be forgiven my wages will be paid
G C
for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved
F
and where would I fit Jesus
Am
what place is left for me
G C
the price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea
C Am F G
Jesus my heart is all I have to give to you so weak and so unworthy
C Am F
this simply will not do no alabaster jar no diamond in the rough
G C
for your body that was broken how can this be enough
Am F
by me you were abandoned by me you were betrayed
G C
yet in your arms and in your heart forever I have stayed
C Am F
Your glory illuminates my life and no darkness will descend
G C
for you have loved me forever and your love will never end
