[Verse 1]
So they say, “It’s alive-
You don’t want to throw that away.”
So they say, “It’s your life-
You don’t want it to go that way.”
So you think it’s not time
You don’t want anything to change,
And your body’s a shrine,
And it does not have a name.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There is so much here that is at stake.
There are too many mistakes to make.

[Chorus 1]
And all the mothers – and their daughters –
They look at you and you feel shame.
And all of the sons – and their fathers –
They look and you sink in the rain.
And the Lord Jesus – precious Savior –
He looks and you are all okay.

[Verse 2]
So they say, “Just one time
How can just once hurt at all?”
So they say, “There’s no crime –”
Get ready for a big fall.
So you think you’ll be fine
You don’t have a thing to loose,
And your body’s no shrine –
What’s your next best excuse?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There is so much here that is at stake.
There are too many mistakes to make.

[Chorus 2]
And all of the cops – and the robbers –
They look at you to place the blame.
And all of the saints – and the sinners –
They look and ask for your name.
And Lord Jesus – precious Savior –
He tells you all will be okay.

[Verse 3]
So you say, “It’s a cut,
It’s for bleeding out the pain.”
And they say, “You’re a nut,
That whole idea’s insane!”
Then they ask what is this
Pain inflicting obsession?
And you say it’s your knack
For your own self expression.

But you don’t feel a thing
When you want to feel everything.
And you can’t see the end
It feel’s like it’s the beginning.
Then you think of quitting
After what life put you through.
Your end will be fitting
Cause what’s left here for you?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But they won’t throw it in your face,
So they can tell you of God’s Grace.

[Chorus 3]
And all your doctors – and their patients –
Look and wonder from whence you came.
And all your peers – so insincere –
They look and you – you feel the same.
And the Lord Jesus – precious Savior –
He looks and he heals your pain.
