Our life began like any other man,

held beneath a mother's loving gaze
G#m/B
And somewhere between now and then
Bbm/C# G#m
I lost the man I could have been

Took ev'rything that wasn't mine to take

But love believes that it is not too late
 
[Verse 2]
Ebm Ebm/F#
Only one of us deserves this cross,
Bbm/C#
our suffering that belongs to me
Bmaj7 Bbm/C#
And deep within this man I hang beside

Is the place where shame and grace collide
Bmaj7
And it's beautiful agony
C#sus
that love believes it's not too late for me
 
[Chorus 1]
F# C#sus
This is how love wins ev'ry single time,
C# Ebm
and climbing high up - on a tree

Where someone else should die,

this is how love heals the deepest part of you

Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds,

this is how love says Standing at the door,

you don't have to be who you've been before

Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again,

this is how love wins

That we would drink this cup of suffer - ing
Bmaj7 Ebm Bmaj7 Bbm7/C# Bbm7
I wonder did we ever meet, childhood games and dusty streets

For all my many sorrows and regrets

nothing could compare to just this one

That in the presence of my King

I cannot fall upon my knees

You instead will carry me back home

nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
