dotty!

"Long ago He blessed the earth
Born older than the years;
And in the stall the 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 splendour,
Jehovah's sole 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 and 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, Michael Card
