When The God Man Passes By - Casting Crowns Lyrics

When the God-man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-man passes by
I was a hollow man
My treachery despised and rightly so
And even though my chains were gone
I'm still a slave and reaping what I've sown
Call it desperation, I just had to see His face
So like a child, I climbed a sycamore tree
When the God-man called my name
I knew I'd never be the same
'Cause when the God-man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-man passes by
I was a runaway, a gypsy chasing shadows in the night
A prisoner of secrets till religion
Dragged my shame into the light
All my darkness was revealed
Just when I thought my fate was sealed
My accusers dropped their stones and walked away
'Cause when the God-man cleansed my name
I knew I'd never be the same
You can come just as you are
Let Him have your broken heart
You have never run too far
There is freedom in His scars
When the God-man passes by
