I, I left you to sway
its a shame we had to go this far
a shame we had to go at all
and do you hear the crowd
their hearts burn out loud
I promise to prevail
I will not fail

He said Son, don't you know it has to be this way
your wounds will bring him life
He said Son, don't you know its supposed to be this way
and maybe someday
they'll understand grace
to understand grace
let there be grace
someday

I, I don't care what they say
its a shame we had to go this far
a shame we had to go at all

just a little further where the glory waits on the hill
just another line in the story your life will tell
just another drop of your blood and my love will spill over
love will spill over

Father will you forgive the debt I'm willing to pay
one can only yield so much bending before he breaks
father will you let me know when all of this pain will be over
when it's over

to understand grace
they'll to understand grace
let there be grace

You, you brought them this change
it's a shame we had to go this far
a shame we had to go at all
He said Son, don't you know it has to be this way
so maybe someday we'll understand grace
we'll understand grace
