Splinters And Stones

Fate Holds nothing on the providence I know No longer bound to things of wood and stone When all I had to offer was my worst You saw my heavy heart and loved me first Your beauty staring down my brokenness You chose to throw Your heart into the mess Compassion crashing down upon my debt You were there All this time Like a river running through my failure You carried me all this time Like the splinters buried in Your shoulders You carry me now Hallelujah If ever now my heart cries hallelujah If ever now in the wonder of Your grace A thousand times a thousand years my soul Will say Grace You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt And one by one the stones fell where they lay As one by one my accusers walked away With nothing left to throw they made a cross And knowing only love could count the cost You were there All this time Like a river running through my failure You carried me all this time Like the splinters buried in Your shoulders Your love carried all my shame Jesus how my soul will praise You You carried me all this way Like a diamond in the scars upon Your crown You carry me now Hallelujah If ever now my heart cries hallelujah If ever now in the wonder of Your grace A thousand times a thousand years My soul will say Hallelujah Forever now in the greatness of my Saviour Forever now in the brightness of Your Name Jesus on this rock I'll sing Your praise --- Splinters And Stones - Hillsong United
