You don't know me
how the nails bit
how the crown hit
how the pain spread
how I bled
how I cried to my father in
my time of need
how I wished for this
cup to pass from me
how I gave all I had for you
how I loved you
how I held none else
above you
how I took your sins
as mine own
so that one day
I could look at you
purity to behold
how I bled for you
and cried for you
and died for you
so you could be free
the pain and suffering
I gave all of me
without complaint
they cursed me as blasphemy
now they praise me as saint
but you don't know me.
How I would hold you close
at any cost
how I wish you wouldn't
turn from me
or deny me so
How I would forgive
your sins every one
how I would kiss your tears
before they come
how I listen to
your prayers
how I would love to
soothe your fears
how I wish you would
let me in
how I could show you
the beauty you hold inside
how there is no need
to run and hide
all the things
I would give to you
all that I have
erase the stains
of your past
make promises
I'll never break
give you the tranquility
I know you seek
how I wish you knew me.
