The Cross & the Promise

[Intro]
Whispered pages, ancient and divine
Stories woven through the sands of time
From promises made in shadowed halls
To every answer when the curtain falls

[Verse 1]
Started with a man, faith tested in the night
A command so heavy, lost in the fight
His son, his promise, a future spared
His hand held firm, though burdened with despair

[Pre-Chorus]
Then came a voice, clear and unseen
A substitute provided, a gap intervened
The shadow of sacrifice takes its place
A symbol of grace, of redeeming embrace

[Chorus]
Oh, how the story unfolds and grows
From shadows of doubt to heaven's glow
The greatest love, unspoken, divine
A gift of mercy, a sacred sign

[Verse 2]
In the fullness of time God sent his own Son
To complete the promise and say "It is done!"
All we need do is accept his grace
Faith in his gift gives us a place

[Pre-Chorus]
Then came a voice, clear and unseen
A substitute provided, a gap intervened
The shadow of sacrifice takes its place
A symbol of grace, of redeeming embrace

[Chorus]
Oh, how the story unfolds and grows
From shadows of doubt to heaven's glow
The greatest love, unspoken, divine
A gift of mercy, a sacred sign

[Bridge]
Centuries apart, yet linked in the mind
A story of sacrifice, so beautifully entwined
From the sacrifice of one, to the Savior’s own
Love’s eternal song, forever known

[Outro]
Pages turn, but the truth remains
A story of grace that eases all pains
From a humble beginning to a glorious end
A testament of love, our forever friend
