The sky turned dark at the noon-day sun
The work of grace had just begun
A crown of thorns upon His brow
The King of Kings is bleeding now
No word He spoke to curse the name
Of those who brought the guilt and shame
With every breath, with every strain
He took the weight of all our pain.
(Chorus)
Oh, the cross, where mercy flowed like wine
The holy exchange, the life divine
For every soul, for every sin
He opened up the way within
We worship the Lamb, the sacrifice
Who paid the debt and gave us life
On this Friday, we call Good
By His stripes and by His blood.
(Verse 2)
The rugged wood, the iron nails
But it was love that never fails
It wasn't power that held Him there
But a heart that chose our cross to bear
"It is finished," was the cry
As the Son of God laid down to die
The veil was torn, the wall came down
Our Savior traded cross for crown.
(Bridge)
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive all honor and power and praise
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
By His wounds, we are healed and raised
Worthy is the Lamb!
(Chorus)
Oh, the cross, where mercy flowed like wine
The holy exchange, the life divine
For every soul, for every sin
He opened up the way within
We worship the Lamb, the sacrifice
Who paid the debt and gave us life
On this Friday, we call Good
By His stripes and by His blood.
(Outro)
By His blood, we are washed white as snow
Deep as the ocean, Your mercies flow
We remember the cost, we remember the love
Our Savior, our Jesus, sent from above.
On this Good Friday, we worship You.
