Verse 1

Verse 2

 scars remain

 I know He could have saved His life that night if Christ chose to run away

Instead of takin' off – He chose To take the narrow way.

 And now I'm Heaven bound and born anew, And man I never had that much to lose

 I'm here to bear my cross in life, And to see Him on the other side – because
