[Verse 1]
I saw the nails, I heard the hammer
King of the Jews
Carved into a wooden banner
Made You a crown
Bloodied Your temple
You could have come down
But in silence we both trembled

[Chorus]
You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
You poured me grace, I poured You poison
But still You drank my cup of shame
With all that I've done, could I be forgiven?
Is there still a way to enter Your kingdom?
I'm just a thief, beside a King
King of hearts

[Verse 2]
I looked to my side 'cause I only had seconds
Please remember we met
When You're seated high in Heaven
He spoke in a whisper, looking deep in my eyes
Said, "Son, this time tomorrow, we will be in paradise"

[Chorus]
'Cause You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
You poured me grace, I poured You poison
But still You drank my cup of shame
With all that I've done, could I be forgiven?
Is there still a way to enter Your kingdom?
I'm just a thief, beside a King

[Bridge]
King of the poor, King of the lowly
King of the broken, King of the lonely
King of the hopeless, King of the gone too far's
King of hearts, King of the lost
King of the guilty, King of the misfits
King of the filthy, King of critics
King of the brand new start, King of hearts

[Chorus]
'Cause You gave Your life, I gave You nothing
You poured me grace, I poured You poison
But still You drank my cup of shame
With all that I've done, I've been forgiven
Those scars made a way to enter Your kingdom
On golden streets, redeemed and free
A beloved thief right beside His King
King of hearts
