Between the Nails

Between the sinners you stood alone

One carried shame, the others stone.
You wrote their sins into the sand
And then the rocks fell from their hands.
Into her eyes you saw right through,
Into a heart that needed you.
No judgment cast, there was no score.
You are now free, go sin no more.

Between the heavens and the earth
You made a way for second birth.
Between the cradle and the grave
You came to save.
Between the hope and hopeless ones
You called them daughters and your sons.
Between my sin and my regret
You paid my debt.

Between two sinners you chose to die
Up on the cross for such as I.
You bore my sin and my disgrace
So I could look into God's face.
You took the pain of every lash
Upon your back to clear my past.
What hurts the most, is not my sin,
But for just me you'd die again.

Now my life has been made clean

You gave your all, no in between.

You had a choice of throne or cross

You took the loss.

Now you stand between my shame

And the one who stakes a claim.

You show the marks you gladly bore.

He rules no more.

Between two roads I walk with you

You give me strength to carry through

When I recall what you have shown.

No matter what, I'm not alone.

When darkness comes and surrounds me

You light the way so I can see.

I am forever wholly yours

From hear on earth to heavens shores.

Between the heavens and the earth
You made a way for second birth.
Between the cradle and the grave
You came to save.
Between the hope and hopeless ones
You called them daughters and your sons
Between my sin and my regret
You paid my debt.

Between the path that's traveled less

I choose a life of righteousness,

Not of my own, I did not pay

The price for freedom on that day.

You broke the bread and poured new wine.

You gave your life and ransomed mine.

Between the nails upon the tree

You set me free.
