I also changed the lyrics a little for when I sing it but the version I posted is, I believe, the way it is sung by the group on the radio.

1. I'm not on an ego trip, I know I'm nothing on my own.
I make mistakes and I often slip, 'cause I'm just common flesh and bones.
But I'll prove someday just why I say I'm from a special kind.
When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

CH. He knew me, yet He loved me.
He whose glory makes the Heaven shine.
I'm so unworthy of His mercy.
But when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

2. The look of love was on His face, thorns were on His head.
Blood ran down His PURPLE robe and stained it crimson red.
Tho' His eyes were on the crowd that day, He looked ahead and smiled.
'Cause while He was on the cross, You and I were on His mind.

Note: The Bible says He was wearing a purple robe, not a scarlet robe.

Honestly, I proof read that and still missed something. It should be

He KNEW me, yet He loved me...

I'm not on an ego trip, I'm nothing on my own. I make mistakes and often slip. Just common flesh and bone. But I'll prove someday just what I say, I'm of a special kind. For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

A look of love was on His face, the thorns upon His head. The blood was on that scarlet robe and stained it crimson red. Though His eyes were on the crowd that day, He looked ahead in time. For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

He know me, yet He loved me. He whose Glory makes the Heavens shine, So unworthy of such mercy, yet when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.
