You’ve walked this path
You bore my shame upon Your back
You already know the pain of this world
You’ve cried my tears
You’ve faced my fears
You already know the pain of this world
You delivered me from darkness
You conquered the power of death
As You looked at the face of sin
You are my only hope
You are my one desire
