I wish my death would break on through
And make you understand
You throw your stones but I'm still standing
Your Saviour Christ with nail scarred hands and

I do need to bother
I need you to be
You keep slipping farther
But when I hold on
I don't let go though I bleed

My spirit longs to fill your soul
and teach you that I care
My still small voice calls to erase
The dirt they fed you that took my place

Your flaws are not a reason
To turn away from me and
I'll never give up trying
For you alone it was worth dying

I do need to bother
I need you to be
You keep slipping farther
But when I hold on
I don't let go though I bleed

I wish you'd live instead of die
Drops of blood disguise my face
Sweet words of life can make new memories
The Word of God's life giving entries

I do need to bother
I need you to be
You keep slipping farther
But if you hold on
I won't let you drown in deceit
