Verse 1-
This wound is gaping, stretching far.
Beyond what we can hope to mend.
Our sin parting us from you.
It's hell in our hearts again.
Chorus-
Our past mistakes stare at us again, your forgiveness calling our name.
Everything we need we found in you.
Your forgiveness washes us clean, we learn to love again.
Everything we need we found in you.
Verse 2-
The old is gone the new has come.
Like the dawning of a new day sun.
What was once held in darkness.
Now the light shines on.
Bridge-
More of you, and less of me.
Take all of what we used to be.
The old is gone, the new has come.
We'll take this love and run.
