Hillsong UNITED - Splinters & Stones Lyrics

VERSE 1:

Fate

Holds nothing on the providence I know

No longer bound to things of wood and stone 

When all I had to offer was my worst

You saw my heavy heart and loved me first

Your beauty staring down my brokenness 

You chose to throw Your heart into the mess 

Compassion crashing down upon my debt You were there

PRE-CHORUS:

All this time

Like a river running through my failure 

You carried me all this time

Like the splinters buried in Your shoulders 

You carry me now

CHORUS:

Hallelujah

If ever now my heart cries hallelujah

If ever now in the wonder of Your grace

A thousand times a thousand years my soul Will say

VERSE 2:

Grace

You saw the crushing weight my flesh deserved 

You kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirt 

And one by one the stones fell where they lay 

As one by one my accusers walked away

With nothing left to throw they made a cross 

And knowing only love could count the cost 

You were there

PRE-CHORUS 2:

All this time

Like a river running through my failure

You carried me all this time

Like the splinters buried in Your shoulders 

Your love carried all my shame

Jesus how my soul will praise You

You carried me all this way

Like a diamond in the scars upon Your crown 

You carry me now

CHORUS 2:

Hallelujah

If ever now my heart cries hallelujah

If ever now in the wonder of Your grace

A thousand times a thousand years

My soul will say

Hallelujah

Forever now in the greatness of my Saviour 

Forever now in the brightness of Your Name 

Jesus on this rock I'll sing Your praise
