He walked in, stoned his sin
We never thought we'd see him again
Threw his Bible down, shot around
And so he drank himself a drink,
and waited for it to sink
And then he raised his right hand,
And cast a flame that blends for me
They are the cross you bear
Rumors blow through these winds
you're gonna breathe on me
An d so we did, we came at Him
With everything we knew that God forbid
And though the truth was unknown,
it was a white word against his own
With skin as dark as death
And before you pass judgment on me,
and cast your blames of plans for me
And the lovers' scriptures
They are the cross you bear
Bloods of doubt drowned him out
So he ran to follow the crowd
Night came, storm and rain
A bullet flew into the back of his frame
And as he fell into the mud
The world stopped, the shot rang
Then I looked down at my gun
And the powder on my hands
But I'd shot and killed a man
So I looked up at the sky and cried
And all your past judgment on me
And cast your flames of blasphemy
And the love in the scriptures
Made me a killer who saves the sinner
4.9
