How Love Wins (thief)

My life began like any other man

Held beneath a mother's loving gaze

Somewhere between now and then

I lost the man I could have been

Took everything that wasn't mine to take

But Love believes that it is not too late

Only one of us deserves this cross

A suffering that should belong to me

Deep within this man I hang beside

Is the place where shame and grace collide

And it's beautiful agony

That He believes it's not too late for me

This is how Love wins, every single time

Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die

This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you

Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds

This is what Love says, standing at the door

You don't have to be who you've been before

Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again

This is how Love wins

Did you see this moment from the start

That we would drink this of cup of suffering?

I wonder, did we ever meet?

Childhood games in dusty streets

For all my many sorrows and regrets

Nothing could compare to just this one

That in the presence of my King

I cannot fall upon my knees

I cannot carry You up to Your throne

You instead, will carry me back home.

This is how Love wins, every single time

Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die

This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you

Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds

This is what Love says, standing at the door

You don't have to be who you've been before

Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again

This is how Love wins

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood, Nothing but the blood

Because this is what Love say, standing at the door

You don't have to be who you've been before

And silenced by His voice, death can't speak again

This is how Love wins.
