LOVE OF A SAVIOR (Wayne Klassik Remix) ft. Gospel Lee, Tim Deffebaugh & Wayne Klassik Lyrics

The earth grew dark

Shrouded in shadow

The King of Kings

Bloody and battered

A crown of thorns

A throne of timbers

Nailed to a cross

To make a way for us

Love became the darkness

When He became a part of us

To fully grasp His heart for us

He was beaten, bruised and scarred for us

Scandal of grace

Is a mystery yet so intentional

How the King took my place

He went from royalty to criminal

Traded Your throne in heaven

For two planks nailed together

Lowered Yourself to death on a cross

So we'd live with You forever

I'll never understand it

Your plan's obscene and absurd

It's the grace of the Living Word

That I don't get what I deserve

For our forgiveness

You were broken

And for our sake

You were forsaken

They mocked Your name

You showed compassion

They do not know

Father forgive them

Jesus your life

Laid down for us

This is the love of a Savior

Your blood poured out

Upon that cross

This is the love of a Savior

Love paid the highest price

And You didn't think twice

Knew nothing else would suffice

Except for the blood of the Christ

And when You lost Your blood

That's when I found a new life

And the pain that You endured

Erased my sin, struggle and strife

And while You struggled to breath

They insulted and they mocked You

Said You claimed to be the Son of God

But it looked like God forgot You

Above the disrespect said

"God forgive them, they don't know"

When the Father turned His back said

"Why'd You leave me, where'd You go"

The Word fulfilled

That day at Calvary

The Lamb of God

Was slain upon the tree

Into the Father's hands

You gave Your Spirit

Your dying breath

"It is finished"

Jesus your life

Laid down for us

This is the love of a Savior

Your blood poured out

Upon that cross

This is the love of a Savior

Your body torn

By nails and thorns

This is the love of a Savior

Your blood poured out

Upon that cross

This is the love of a Savior

The sting of death was diminished

When Love uttered "it is finished"

Same three words that took us

From depleted to replenished

Very same words meant

You accomplished what You intended

Also the same words

That paved the way for repentance

You cried out with a loud shout

And then You breathed Your last

The ground began to rumble

Then the veil was torn in half

The whole earth blacked out

Satan thought he got the last laugh

Guess Satan wasn't counting

On Him dying and coming back

Satan's celebration would

Quickly turn into dismay

Fast forward seventy-two hours

When the stone was rolled away

Inside the tomb there's bandages

Where His body was laid

Redemption had been purchased

The receipt was an empty grave

The word was fulfilled

And Jesus settled the score

What the first Adam lost

The second Adam restored

We mourn what happened

But celebrate what happened later

Cause our freedom was secured

By the love of a Savior

The tomb was sealed

Your heartbeat silenced

Creation mourned

It is finished
