Circle encircles the earth.
Chance and choice break his heart.
His innocent arm moves to save me,
And I am spared.
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off;
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me.
But I wouldn't believe him.
He did all that he could.
I still would not believe him.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
No man
Shows greater love
Than when a man
Lays down his life
For his beloved.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
And here I am alive,
And I don't have the right.
And he gave me the right,
Costing him his life.
New mercy's in the morning.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Come back to my life.
I believe.
What if I believe you now?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Chance and choice break his heart.
His innocent arm moves to save me,
And I am spared.
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off;
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me.
But I wouldn't believe him.
He did all that he could.
I still would not believe him.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
No man
Shows greater love
Than when a man
Lays down his life
For his beloved.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
And here I am alive,
And I don't have the right.
And he gave me the right,
Costing him his life.
New mercy's in the morning.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Come back to my life.
I believe.
What if I believe you now?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.

Whether this song is about Jesus or not, I think of it as a tragic love story. I am atheist though, so maybe that's why.
Well, this song is beautifully written either way, and it brings out strong emotions in me. I love it.
No, you're correct. Even if it is about Jesus, it's a tragic love story, at least from this perspective.<br /> <br /> The story of Jesus is the most beautiful love story ever penned, even if you are an atheist it should bring out deepest emotions. <br /> <br /> The story of Jesus is about the son of God, who knowing full well the consequence of creating humanity before even time had begun still saw something in them that he loved enough to create and then later die to redeem.<br /> <br /> The Church is called the Bride of Christ for this very reason. The story of creation and redemption told in the Bible is nothing if not a love story. I hope you enjoyed it. :D
