Blood and sorrow flow
From the languid brow
Of Jesus dying
And tears
From Heaven's eyes
Are the anguished drops
Of a Father crying,
"Oh, why?"
This must be a cross of love
For God to bruise His only Son
Jesus, what a, sacrifice to reach us
It had to be a cross of love!
Emblem of His pain
Of the splintered wood
Of my transgression
And the people jeered at Him
and mocked His holy name,
For they knew not who He was,
nor why it was He came.
I'll never comprehend
How an act so great
Gave love expression
Oh, why?
Some had come to offer help
To soothe a mother's pain,
But as she watched her wounded Son,
The comfort never came,
Oh, why?
// This must be a cross of love
For God to bruise His only Son
Jesus, what a, sacrifice to reach us
It had to be a cross of love! //
Jesus, what a, sacrifice to reach us
It had to be a cross of love!
