^{————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Long ago He blessed the earth, born older than the years

And in the stall the Cross He saw, through 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 price He paid

^{————————— Chorus 1: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Love crucified arose, the Risen One in splendor

Jehovah's sole Defender, has won the victory

Love crucified arose, and the grave became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke, is beating once again

^{————————— Verse 2: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Throughout Your life You felt the weight, of what You'd come to give

To drink for us that crimson cup, so that 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

^{————————— Chorus 2: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Love crucified arose, the One Who lived and died for me

Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty, now He's breathing once again

Love crucified arose, and the grave became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke, is beating once again
