I was told that heaven's never too far gone
I was told my soul was meant to sing a song
But as I tarried through life
I learned that that was not quite so
Through right and wrong and perpetual sin
Forever bound to struggle from within
Was I sold a lie? Because if heaven are these people
Then I don't want to sing their song
But grace, how sweet it sounds
Claimed and loved for nothing
Redeemed, was lost now found
Can I hope? Can I change?
Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain?
Wash it clean, white as snow
Surely there's hell to pay, but I'll never be the same
I was told that heaven's streets were paved with gold
I was told that I would never walk alone
But my hands and feet are bloodied
And no one wants a sinner's lot
If man cannot forgive what I have done
And man was made from who is up above
Then why give us a choicce?
You know that I will lose control
But grace, it holds my hand
And tells me I am worthy to love
And not hold back
Can I hope? Can I change?
Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain?
Wash it clean, white as snow
Surely there's hell to pay, but I'll never
Can you love? Can you change?
Can you erase a past that has caused so much pain?
Wash it clean, white as snow
Surely there's hell to pay, in this cage I won't stay
'Fore my soul's cast away, and I'll never be the same
