Splinters and Stones

Verse 1:
D
Fate
                                                      Hm
Holds nothing on the providence I know
                                                                G
No longer bound to things of wood and stone
                                              D
When all I had to offer was my worst
       A                                                  D
You saw my heavy heart and loved me first
 
                                                           Hm
Your beauty staring down my brokenness
                                                               G
You chose to throw Your heart into the mess
                                                           D                      A
Compassion crashing down upon my debt You were there

PRE-CHORUS 1:
             Hm
All this time
           G                                    D
Like a river running through my failure
        A              G  A     Hm
You carried me all this time
               G
Like the splinters buried in
            D                                A
Your shoulders You carry me now

CHORUS 1:
     D
Hallelujah
                                              A
If ever now my heart cries hallelujah
                                                       G
If ever now in the wonder of Your grace
                                                               D
A thousand times a thousand years my soul
      A
Will say

Verse 2:
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

PRE-CHORUS 2:
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

CHORUS 2:
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
