Took My Place

Collision Of Innocence

Compositor: Randy Elswick

Breaking inside fear resonates
Within myself
Only I am to blame
And this world is so cold
I seem out of place
Now I stand before them
Shackled and chained
Begging for their mercy

You, You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took You in to custody
Why would You do that for me?
Why'd You do that for me?

I look into Your eyes
And You stare back at me
Your hands now bound by them
But You smile back in peace
Came to make things new

But You, You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took You into custody
And I watch You bleed I saw You suffer
For my Iniquities
As they drove the nails I stood in horror
Why would You do this for me? (For me?)
For me, yeah
All for me
Why'd You do this for me?

Stirring underneath
In You I believe
You took a wretch like me
You came to set me free
Stirring underneath
In You I believe
You took a wretch like me
You came to set me free

But You, You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took You in to custody
And I watch You bleed I saw You suffer
For my iniquities
As they drove the nails I stood in horror
Why would You do this for me?

You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took You in to custody
Why would You do that for me?
