Verse 1 I was runnin’ from the daylight, Heart heavy as a chain, Tryin’ to hide the broken pieces Of a life I couldn’t change. But mercy found me shakin’, With a love I can’t explain, When the spotless Lamb of heaven Took my guilt and wore my shame. Pre‑Chorus (raspy lift) I still can’t understand it, But I know it’s real — He took what I carried So I could finally heal. Chorus (big, gritty, Stapleton belt) He became my sin so I could be forgiven, He carried my cross so I could walk in heaven. He took the blame, He paid the price, He gave His blood, He gave His life. And now forever starts the moment I believe — Yeah, He became sin To save a soul like me. Verse 2 I’ve seen chains fall off the hopeless, Seen the hardest hearts undone, When the name of Jesus rises Like a fire‑bright morning sun. It ain’t works and it ain’t earnin’, It’s the gift He freely gave, When the One who knew no darkness Stepped inside my grave. Pre‑Chorus (gravel‑warm) And I stand here forgiven, ’Cause He stood in my place — He took all my judgment, Gave me all His grace. Chorus (stronger, soul‑heavy) He became my sin so I could be forgiven, He carried my cross so I could walk in heaven. He took the blame, He paid the price, He gave His blood, He gave His life. And now forever starts the moment I believe — Yeah, He became sin To save a soul like me. Bridge (slow burn, bluesy cry) No greater love, no deeper truth, Than the Savior standin’ where I should’ve stood. He bore the weight I couldn’t bear, So I could breathe salvation’s air. Final Chorus (full Stapleton fire) He became my sin so I could be forgiven, He carried my cross so I could walk in heaven. He took the blame, He paid the price, He gave His blood, He gave His life. And now forever starts the moment I believe — Yeah, He became sin To save a soul like me. Outro (smoky whisper, guitar bend) To save a soul like me… For all eternity.
