Love Crucified Arose - Michael Card - Lyrics


Long ago He blessed the earth
Born older than the years
And in the stall a 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


Love crucified, arose

The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul 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


Throughout Your life You felt the weight

Of what You'd come to give
To drink for us that crimson cup
So 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


Love crucified, arose

The One who lived the 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


Love crucified, arose 

The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul 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


Love crucified, arose

The One who lived and died for me
Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty
Now He's breathing once again
