Why?

It was my pain and my shame

It was my guilt and my name

It was my choice and my life

Though there was always strife

I had no need to hide

I was covered in pride

I didn't need His light

I was doing alright

I made some mistakes

But so good being fake

I wasn't hurting that bad

Just occasionally sad

Not as moral as I should

Randomly misunderstood

A King leaving His throne

Knowing I was so all alone

Just pretending to thrive

But so dead not alive

His Blood shed for me

For a new identity

Cleansing and redeeming

Tears steadily streaming

Forgiven and aware

How could I dare

Drowning in sin

Again and again

To receive this love

Me covered in blood

The Savior saw me

And hung on a tree

The rest is HIStory
