I turned my back on Jesus-
So He turned his back,
On me.

And when He turned,
m y soul burned with guilt-

For my eyes saw the scars
that He bared,

And the pain of mine,
t hat He shared,

And I saw the days,

When I gave up,
b ut He still cared,

And showed me that
My suffering was not unfair,

presented through these scars,

These scars inflicted
when He took credit,
credit for my sins,

and co-signed with God,
To give me a chance,
a chance at life again.
