I know what I've been told
And I know there's flaws in my thinking
Threatening the things I hold
So tight
Still this is my only hope
This is the way to freedom
Cause You are not so concerned
with my justice You let go of Your rights

And You expect the same from me
To let the ones who wrong me go free

The burning down of me
This is the cross I see
No other way for me
The burning down of me
This is the grace we have known
The mercy we're shown
The truth, the way
Where life begins again

No greater love can a man show
Than to lay down his life for another
Even if the other will never know
You're challenging all that I think I deserve
Challenging the ways that I handle my hurt
Cause it's You who shoulders the blame I'll remember

The burning down of me
This is the cross I see
No other way for me
The burning down of me
This is the grace we have known
The mercy we're shown
The truth, the way
Where life begins again
