My heart is a sanctuary
a shelter that hides this love
A heart that danced in January
when the angels called from above

My heart is the pain of the world
it's the breath speaking in my lungs
My heart is the pain of every boy and girl
it's the pain that rests on tongues

My heart is an altar
a table for His praise
An oath that will never falter
letting love be saved

My pain is His pain
love dripping from death's wounds
this stain is His stain
ressurected inside the tomb

My heart shows His saving grace
the Earth speaks of Your beauty
the pain of every man erased
when you promised all eternity

No longer point the blame at me
the guilt stains of an innocent man
His shame was staked to a tree
to save every soul in this land

Now I hear a love louder than death
greater than Cupid beholds
Your love is a mural of beauty blessed
heaven a beacon that glitters as gold

My heart is a sacred temple 
that tries to bind the unjust
a life that couldn't come simple
to this naive world corrupt

Sin is draped like a curtain
in robes of majestic forgiveness
this love I know is certain
His love is guaranteed repentance

Bathed in the oceans of grace
walking the paths of righteousness
a passion of heavens embraced
I found a piece of happiness

My heart unveiled to the world
pumping warm blood through cold veins 
the joy of love for every boy and girl
can be seen far beyond our pains

Lost inside a sanctuary of love
I found a reason to live
a dream that fell from above
a hope only one man could give

Only one man could make a change
it all started with the birth of Christ
some saw this bearded man as strange
I saw a promise of eternal life

A bearded man from bethlehem
came to atone us of sin
he saw the good and evil in man
with Him we are born again

Hope of one God founded this nation
he came to guide hearts and minds
I rest forever in the arms of salvation
a love thats cherished and so divine

This bearded man avoided temptation
tested by the devil for fourty days in the sand
this bearded man brought us salvation
healing us with His nail pierced hands

The forbidden fruit of Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden
The way the devil came to deceive
left this world now bleeding

Has truth opened your eyes
did you taste the juice upon your lips
as they were believed to be wise
did it take you back to your first kiss

Love is no longer innocent
this heart has been slowly bruised
did you take the time to repent
it feels as if the worlds been used

The creator of everything that has blessed
My eyes look deep into heaven's heart 
to you my sins I will confess
for this world has torn me apart

His eyes I know are staring down
into this broken heart He can sew shut
an eternal love I know I've found
by the world's blade I have been cut

Love bleeding through a torn vein
He gave it all when He embraced those nails
a heart beating that has been stained
I know that this love it never fails

I feel the warmth of this love everywhere
the beauty dancing with nature so serene
throw all of your cares in the air
it feels as if I'm dancing in a dream

A bearded man from Bethlehem came
lived thirty three years on this earth 
the nails He endured brought pain
since the first day of any man's birth

Their were so many miracles performed
they are accounted for in His book
many people came and they swarmed
as the crowds displayed an astonished look

They watched as the heavens fell
and watched as their Christ ascended
so here is this story I tell
hope none of this world is offended
