Michael Card Love Crucified Arose

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

At last the time to love and die

So we might really live

The dark appointed day
That one forsaken moment




When Your Father turned His face away
Love crucified, arose


Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty
The One who lived the died for me

Now He's breathing once again
