Your Sin

Blood spills, it runs, it pours from my heart; You hate me, you loathe me, you've torn me apart. All that is left of what used to be me, Is buried and dying and can't be set free. You haunt me, you stab me, you tear at my flesh; Life fades away, I smell hate, I smell death. Not to long now and I'll cease to exist, I know in your eyes I'll never be missed. Ravage me, ruin me, tear my soul out; You afflict and condemn me, of that there's no doubt. I'm falling apart, the pain I can't take. Drive it in deeper, your big fat black stake. It burns and it stings, and it scorches within; I'm so easily bruised, and my burden's your sin. I long for the day, when I'll be made whole, But it won't be your Jesus who'll play the lead role. Now curse me and mock me, spit on your son; You hope that I'll break, fall apart, come undone. We've split, there's a chasm, between you and I, For I look to me, and you look to "On High." Laugh at me, jeer at me, call me deceived; Tell me I'm wretched, despised, and in need. But in days to come, for both you and I, I'll suffer no more, YOUR death draweth nigh!
