Burned Away Lyrics

Oh, what have I done

How could I treat my friends this way

Oh no, what have I done

What have I done?

I made myself firm

I let them lean themselves on me

But then when it hurt most

I pulled away

I wish I could fly

Wanna be far from me today

But oh, I was the one

Who chose the escape

Guilt waits at my door

Never just leaves and goes away

Hands demanding the price

The forfeit of pain

The forfeit of pain

So I climbed across the Jesus

Tried imagining the same

On the cross with Jesus in my brain

On the cross of his hands

Sweat and blood mixed on our skin

World of death and sorrow

breathing it in

What if it were true

Could I just pretend that it's okay

Ignore the knowledge that's there

Push it down and away

I once ran like a child

Swooped on the wings of freedom's day

But now I have my guilt

My burden of shame

My burden of shame

So I hung up there with Jesus

Felt my pain join in his pain

On the cross with Jesus sharing the same

Shared what he suffered for me

Nerves on fire burning up my frame

Burned away my guilt

Upon this day

Victory day

Victory day
