W O U N D E D H E A R T Lyrics

You said You washed me whiter than the morning snow

But I'm caught up in the notion, I can't let it go

If I'm a new creation who still plays in the mud

Have I truly accepted Your body, Your blood

You said You kissed me like a son because that's what I am

But this fickle heart runs any chance it gets

If You're the Lover all love stories have been pointing towards

Then I'm the runaway bride sobbing on the floor

But hey, You don't give up on me that easily

And though I tried to be the one that got away

Your wounded heart never stopped chasing me

You said I stand on the pillar of Your perfect blood

And there's days where it feels like I think it should

But I've betrayed Your good faith more than a couple times

It's my nails in Your hands and my spear in Your side

But hey, You don't give up on me that easily

And though I tried to be the one that got away

Your wounded heart never stopped chasing me

And the very tree I nailed You to

Was the love that chased me down

And the agony spilled from those lips

The most beautiful of sounds

That at the center of that suffering

Was the wildest of loves

That as You hung there dying

It was Your killers You thought of

And hey, You don't give up on me that easily

And though I tried to be the one that got away

Your wounded heart never stopped chasing

Your wounded heart, Your wounded heart

Your wounded heart never stopped chasing
