Lyrics:

Long ago He blessed the earth

Born older than the years

And in the stall across He saw thru

The first of many tears

A life of homeless wandering

Cast out in sorrow's way

The Shepherd seeking for the lost

His life, the prace He'd pay



Love crucified, arose

The Risen One in splendor

Jehovah's sole Defender

Has won the victory

Love crucified, arose

And the grace became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke

Is beating once again



Throughout Your life You felt the weight

Of what You'd come to give

To drink for us that crimson cup

So we might really live

At last the time to love and die

The dark appointed day

That one forsaken moment

When Your Father turned His face away



Love crucified, arose

The One who lived the died for me

Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty

Now He's breathing once again
