Love of a Savior ft. Gospel Lee & Seeker.. 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 the 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 the 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
