In the first
Light of dawn
All was set in place
Every plan
At beckon call
Ready to take the stage
Death thought
Finally
He's got the world in his hands
At his command
Love was
Bound up
Pushed around
To such disgrace
Beaten up
And crowned
Shamelessly defaced
Oh, how
Could it be
I got His blood in my hands
Love undefiled, unadulterated
Stripped with no shame left reserved
Broken and torn, crimson-tainted
The cross took the death I deserve
'Coz Love has the final word
On the cross
On display
The greatest sacrifice
Love in bloody
Disarray
All before my eyes
Covered in my guilt
The Father wouldn't turn
His face away from
Love undefiled, unadulterated
Stripped with no shame left reserved
Broken and torn, crimson-tainted
The cross took the death I deserve
He was
Love poured out, but never faded
Spilled for every sin's worth
But when blood kissed the cup
Death was fated
The cross took the death I deserve
'Coz Love has the final word
The only sight that mattered
I couldn't bear to see
Love held by three nails on a tree
Every stripe that marred
Innocence Divine
Was every bit yours and
Every bit mine
Love undefiled, unadulterated
Stripped with no shame left reserved
Broken and torn, crimson tainted
The cross took the death I deserve
He was
Love poured out, but never faded
Spilled for every sin's worth
But when blood kissed the cup
Death was fated
The cross took the death I deserve
'Coz Love has the final word
Oh, Love has the final word
Oh, Love has the final word
