WORST OF SINNERS

[Intro – slow, clean guitar] I walk alone through the ashes of my past Chains on my soul, memories that last I spoke Your name but lived a lie Dirty hands raised to the sky [Verse 1 – calm but dark] I knew the truth, I turned away Chose my pride, chose decay I built my throne on broken ground And wondered why I’m never found [Pre-Chorus – building tension] If grace is real, can it reach me? If You forgive… then why do I bleed? [Chorus – aggressive, impatient] I AM THE WORST OF SINNERS BROKEN, UNWORTHY, ASHAMED BUT YOU STILL CALL ME YOURS YOU TOOK MY GUILT, YOU TOOK MY PAIN I AM THE WORST OF SINNERS YET YOU STOOD IN MY PLACE I DON’T DESERVE YOUR MERCY BUT I’M ALIVE BY YOUR GRACE [Verse 2 – heavier] I wore a crown of selfish fire Fed my flesh, buried desire Every scar, my own command I nailed the truth with my own hands [Pre-Chorus – louder] I hear the cross calling my name Love screaming louder than my shame [Chorus – heavier repeat] I AM THE WORST OF SINNERS DROWNED IN MY OWN DECAY BUT YOU RAN TOWARD MY DARKNESS AND PULLED MY SOUL FROM THE GRAVE [Bridge – breakdown / screams] I DESERVE THE FIRE I DESERVE THE END BUT YOU TOOK THE WRATH THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN MINE [Scream] NAILS. BLOOD. LOVE UNDEFINED. [Spoken / growl] Not my strength… Not my name… ALL THE GLORY TO YOUR FLAME [Final Chorus – epic, victorious] I WAS THE WORST OF SINNERS NOW I STAND REDEEMED NOT BY WORKS, NOT BY POWER BUT BY THE BLOOD I’VE SEEN I WAS THE WORST OF SINNERS NOW MY LIFE PROCLAIMS JESUS CHRIST BE GLORIFIED FOREVER REIGN [Outro – slow again] If mercy found a wretch like me Then all the world will see… Grace is alive. Grace is a King.
