E                    C#m         
it is so that my transgressions 
                      A
have born a withered fruit,
                          B
the sun has scorched the rising 
plants;
                   E               
alas they have no root, the 
           C#m
bleached bones of animals bound by 
leather
 A
strips,
B                              E
dance through the air with laughter 
as I wield this wicked whip,

                    C#m            
as you did warn me carpenter, this 
                       A
world has weakened my heart,

             B                     
so easily I disparage, self-seeking
                 E
 the work of my art,

                          C#m      
and there you have come to me at 
                        A
the moment I bathe in my sorrow,

                 B                 
so in love with myself, sought 
            E
after avoiding tomorrow,
                       C#m         
where do you find the love to offer
                 A
 he who betrays you?

B                          E
and offer to wash my feet as I offer
 to disobey you,

C#m                             A
your beauty does bereave me, and how
 my words do fail,
                   B               
so faithfully and dutifully I award
             E
 you with betrayal,


                       C#m         
the weak and the down trodden fall 
           A
on broken legs,
                  B           
as I walk past a smile I cast, 
               E
fervor in my stead,
                     A             
but my bones like plastic, do 
           C#m
buckle backward now,

                        B          
I lay in this field by Judas' 
                      E
bowels and anticipate the plow,
              A                    
I can not be forgiven; my wages 
      C#m
will be paid,

                             B     
for those more lovely and admirable
                     E
 is least among the saved,
                        A
and where would I fit Jesus?
                      C#m
what place is left for me?
                           B       
the price of atonement is more than
                               E
 I've found to offer up as my plea,

E                       C#m      
Jesus my heart is all I have to 
         A                 
give to you, so weak and so 
   B
unworthy,

                     E     
this simply will not do, no 
           C#m                  
alabaster jar, no diamond in the 
   A
rough,

                        B          
for your body that was broken, how 
              E
can this be enough?

                 C#m               
by me you were abandoned, by me you
        A
 were betrayed,

                     B             
yet in your arms and in your heart 
                E
forever I have stayed

E                 C#m            
Your glory illuminates my life, 
                      A
and no darkness will descend,

                        B          
for you have loved me forever, and 
                      E
your love will never end
