Verse 1:
TAmhe angels stood in awe
FAt the sight they saw
The Cnight you were betrayGed
You Amcould have saved Yourself
But you hFeld back the heavens
And lCet them carry You awaGy
YoAmu laid Your kingdom Fdown
They Chanded You a Gcrown of tAmhorns
You were Ftorn
But cried Glet Your will be done
Chorus:
CIt wasn't nails that held GYou to the cross
It was loAmve
