Lyrics
He laid aside his crown, sparing no expense Thrice, all our crimes he carried
When shadows all had clung and the light diminished, though i speak of sober things Thrice, everything hangs on a word
Was lifted from the ground, everything hangs on a word
sparing no expense
the soles have worn straight through
The soles have worn straight through, while i ve proclaimed
He made recompense for all the earth this story s an offense, though a man of lips unclean
See these ragged shoes, all our crimes he carried
See these ragged shoes, he laid aside his crown, though i speak of sober things
Though i speak of sober things, sparing no expense
He laid aside his crown, listen through me
I speak truly what you only think you ve heard, all our crimes he carried, listen through me
He made recompense for all the earth this story s an offense, listen to me
The soles have worn straight through, he emptied out his lungs, i speak truly what you only think you ve heard
He emptied out his lungs, though i speak of sober things
Was lifted from the ground, if you ve got better news then make it plain, all our crimes he carried
Was lifted from the ground, crying it is finished Listen, the soles have worn straight through
When shadows all had clung and the light diminished, see these ragged shoes
I speak truly what you only think you ve heard, though a man of lips unclean
Sparing no expense, when shadows all had clung and the light diminished
i speak truly what you only think you ve heard
i speak truly what you only think you ve heard
see these ragged shoes
Was lifted from the ground, listen to me Listen, sparing no expense
so get down from that fence and bless or curse
listen through me
Everything hangs on a word, when shadows all had clung and the light diminished
The king who sang the blues, see these ragged shoes
Everything hangs on a word, though i speak of sober things Me, he laid aside his crown
He laid aside his crown, sparing no expense Listen, so get down from that fence and bless or curse
