Formless and bare
Darkness surfaced deep
My spirit came and I created light
And since then I loved you
I knew you
Formless and bare
That world was crying
For someone to show them light
So I gave my son to deliver
I'm alive
I'm still here
Weeping for the cause
Of a dying world
I'm alive
I'm still here
Just seek and you'll know
The nails drive me through
Now you're laughing
The cuts are deep
And I'm crying out
Father forgive them
Don't forsake me
The blood drains from my broken heart
Passes though my chest and drips from my feet
Is this what you wanted from me?
