lyrics

Pierced

I am dressed in scarlet
everybody knows how I came by this jar of oil
every eye is on me
but there is only One who sees my deepest soul
I’m pierced

I am but a poor man
watching as the perfume falls
the waste of all my plans
take the one I kiss but
still he calls me friend
these coins can’t kiss me back
I’m pierced

There is one who was pierced for me
I see you now hanging on that thorny tree
you were lifted high like a lightning rod
taking all the wrath of a holy God
and your strength was yielded to His will
as the angels stood, amazed and still
as the Champion of Heaven died
You were beaten, naked, crucified
to the deepest pit of all my shame
You descended, breaking every chain
and the surface of the deep was still
for a day, a night, a day, until
with a mighty breath you breached the frozen waves
with the rising sun you live again

I was out at sea again
Till I heard you call my name just like you used to
you ask me if I love you
oh you know I do
you know I do, you know
I’m pierced
