verse 1
I find it difficult to place myself
at the foot of the cross
When I truly stop to think about
the bloody mess of human flesh
My heart just stops
Betrayed by those who claimed to know him well
Not showing any sense of loss
Would I have partnered in the cowardice?
And run away afraid I might assume the cost
Chorus 1
What a gracious and loving God
who would give his life for me
Even though he knows me to the depths of my soul
He has set me free
So I will take this bread
and I will take this blood
Even though I could never deserve this love
What a gracious and loving God
who would give his life for me
verse 2
It must have been amazing scenery
to see the ever-darkening skies
But I can scarcely wrap my mind around
The moment when they drove the spear into his side
The mess of blood and water pouring down
The haunted look in peopleâ??s eyes
Would they ever even realize
the one they turned away had come to save their lives?
Chorus 1
There is not a single sound that I could utter
That would be adequate at best
To bring relief from the emotion deep inside me
The words I wish I could express
Chorus 2
What a gracious and loving God
who would give his life for me
Even though he knows me to the depths of my soul
He has set me free
So I will take this bread
and I will take this blood
Even though I could never deserve this love
What a gracious and loving God
What a gracious and loving God
What a gracious, what a loving God
who would give his life for me
