Splinters and Stones

Fate

Holds nothing on the providence I know

No longer bound to things of wood and stone

When all I had to offer was my worst

You saw my heavy heart and loved me first

Your beauty staring down my brokenness

You chose to throw Your heart into the mess

Compassion crashing down upon my debt You were there

All this time

Like a river running through my failure

You carried me all this time

Like the splinters buried in

Your shoulders You carry me now

Hallelujah

If ever now my heart cries hallelujah

If ever now in the wonder of Your grace

A thousand times a thousand years my soul

Will say

Grace

You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved

You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt

And one by one the stones fell where they lay

As one by one my accusers walked away

With nothing left to throw they made a cross

And knowing only love could count the cost

You were there

All this time

Like a river running through my failure

You carried me all this time

Like the splinters buried in

Your shoulders Your love carried all my shame

Jesus how my soul will praise You

You carried me all this way

Like a diamond in the scars upon

Your crown You carry me now

Hallelujah

If ever now my heart cries hallelujah

If ever now in the wonder of Your grace

A thousand times a thousand years

My soul will say

Hallelujah

Forever now in the greatness of my Saviour

Forever now in the brightness of Your Name

Jesus on this rock I'll sing Your praise
