Christ, what have we done?
Oh, my God, what have we become?
We’re like the priest that passes by
The broken and bruised on the other side
We clang our cymbals, sing our hymns
But turn a blind eye to our sin
Christ, have mercy on us
Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world
We are sinners, gone astray
Have mercy, Lord
Proud, we have played God
Arrogant rebels from the start
Dying to kill who You let live,
Eager to judge who You forgive
Mad for the glitter of our gold,
But we can’t buy or sell the soul
Though we confess, You take the blame
Lamb of God, we plead, we pray
Redeemer of the world
Forgiveness is divine
In Christ the risen Son
There is no sin too great to reconcile
Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world
We are sinners, saved by grace
Make peace with us
