Loophole

I held the key and slept in the cell
Call it grace while I live like hell
I knew the verses dodged the knife
But I never let him cut my life
I called it a loophole, winked at the stain
Smiled at the cross while I clung to my chain
Grace ain't a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost

Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all
I said a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost
Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all
I said I'm forgiven, then ran back to sin
Painted my coffin and slept tucked in

Truth hit my ribcage, split me in two
Either he owns me or he never knew
Open the book and break me apart
Write your love, a stone-cold heart
Grace ain't a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost
Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all

Grace ain't a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost
Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all
Grace isn't a loophole, grace is a cross
Mercy for sinners, not cover for gloss
If love paid the bill, then I'd drop my life
I'd walk out the prison and watch it die

Grace ain't a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost
Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all
Grace ain't a loophole, grace is a cross
Blood in the dirt, love paid the cost
Not a free pass, not a crooked law
The lamb took my sin, he carried it all

Grace ain't a loophole
