Rust

Verse 1
There was such beauty in the innocence you held
The parables you risked your life to tell
Marked the souls of broken ones, castaways, and fallen sons
While teachers of the law held killing stones

Verse 2
I can’t begin to understand your weakness
While the mockery of thorns pierced your brow
The violent cheers for death in your weakness
While all of heaven’s angels bowing down

Chorus
From the sacred rood where you were crushed
Your holy blood, was falling to the dust Where I below deserve this suffering,
But oh my Lord, you took it all for me

Verse 3
Every part of you was scourged and torn
All the people that you loved scoffed and scorned
They took the spotless lamb and drove guilty nails through perfect hands
Hung you up to die with no remorse

Chorus
From the sacred rood where you were crushed
Your holy blood, was falling to the dust Where I below deserve this suffering,
But oh my Lord, you took it all for me

Bridge
And I owe you everything everything
And I am eternally at your feet
My every breath is Christ in me
My daily death has set me free

Chorus
From the sacred rood where you were crushed
Your holy blood, was falling to the dust Where I below deserve this suffering,
But oh my Lord, you took it all for me
