He saw my sin and knew they would keep me
Out of his heaven but he believed I was worth saving
So he came down to earth as a man
Took the sin that condemned me
Paid the price for me so that I could come in
The key to heaven was hung on a nail
On the cross where he suffered
His love prevailed He opened the flood gates
Parted the veil
The key to heaven was hung on a nail
Bethlehem’s manger was a quiet beginning
You knew he was coming but he died on a hill
With so many watching and even history
Says that he lived but it doesn’t explain
Why he endured the shame and died like he did
