Every promise was fulfilled
Every prophet proven right
Because you saw our hopeless state
Pouring out your love that night
You were looked upon with scorn
Beaten, wounded, drowned alive
Broken down from inside out
Friendless, none stood by your side
Oh, what heavy love is yours!
That you would do so great a thing
We stand in awe of you again
As we look upon our wounded King!
Pierced for love, hung for peace
Hands stretched wide to bring us in
We laughed at you as our roles reversed
Killing you for our own sin
Such agony was laid on you
Yet even that was not the worst
Your own Father chose to turn away
Unable to be with one who was cursed
Oh, what heavy love is yours!
That you would do so great a thing
We stand in awe of you again
As we look upon our wounded King!
Your accusors stood accused
Yet even that you mended too
Your cry for us with mercy rang
"They do not know what they do"
Forsaken by your closest friends
Mocked by those who hung beside
You looked ahead to the joy you'd see
When you gather in those left outside
Oh, what heavy love is yours!
That you would do so great a thing
We stand in awe of you again
As we look upon our wounded King!
Hours went by in such a state
Feeling everyone's every pain
Yet the story does not end in death
For in three days you rose again
Your punishment has brought us peace
By your wounds we have been healed
You tore the veil of seperation
In you, our victory is sealed
Oh, what heavy love is yours!
That you would do so great a thing
We stand in awe of you again
As we look upon our wounded King!
Forever we could sing of this
Your love, proven to be so deep
Your act gives us that very chance
To sing of you for eternity
We were weighed down by sin and guilt
But that all changed on your tree
The only thing that weighs us now
Is your love that set us free
Oh, what heavy love is yours!
That you would do so great a thing
We stand in awe of you again
As we look upon our wounded King!
