There was such beauty

In the innocence you held

The parables you risked your life to tell

Marked the souls of broken ones

Castaways, and fallen sons

While teachers of the law

Held killing stones

I can't begin to understand your meekness

While the mockery of thorns pierced your brow

The violent cheers for death in your weakness

While all of heaven's angels bowing down

From the sacred rood

Where you were crushed

Your holy blood, was falling to the dust

Where I below deserve this suffering

But oh my Lord, you took it all for me

Every part of you was scourged and torn

All the people that you loved scoffed and scorned

They took the spotless lamb

And drove guilty nails through perfect hands

Hung you up to die with no remorse

From the sacred rood

Where you were crushed

Your holy blood, was falling to the dust

Where I below deserve this suffering

But oh my Lord, you took it all for me

And I owe you everything everything

And I am eternally at your feet

My every breath is Christ in me

My daily death has set me free

From the sacred rood

Where you were crushed

Your holy blood, was falling to the dust

Where I below deserve this suffering

But oh my Lord, you took it all for me
