He cries

Riding along this dark dusty road
We've been traveling for day, so far from home
I feel Him move beneath my skin
Entering through Bethlehem's door
The inn was full so we'll rest on the stable
Floor for the night, As my thoughts rage on
The time has come for this perfect lamb
To enter this world that He shaped with His hands
On this silent night, He stirs within, oh

I’m only a child, how can this be?
Creator, God, was woven in me
And as I look down, I am eye to eye
With my Maker and Son, my Jesus Christ!

He cries, He cries, my babe, my love, you’ve come
My saving son
The earth leans in as His song tears through this night
The Creator of life is born

I remember back to the time of His youth
As He questioned the leaders and spoke only truth
He was lost for three days, my helpless son
Oh, I remember when He was brought to a child
She had passed in the night and been gone for a while
As He took her hand His words gave life, oh
Now the same baby boy from the manger night
Who still holds the world and brings dead to life
Was taken from me, far from my care

I watched my son crushed in agony
He was beaten and dragged to Calvary
As He’s lifted high upon the tree
The sin of the world now covers the King

He cries, He cries, as His Father turns His face
O my God, don’t forsake me
The earth explodes as it’s Maker’s blood drains dry

Love has slain the Son, oh, oh
Love has slain the Son

Three long days, did He lie in that grave
And death cried out in victory
Until, until
He rose up from the dead
The grave couldn’t hold Him
He rose up from the dead
The grave couldn’t hold Him
Couldn’t hold Him
He rose up from the dead
Oh, the grave couldn’t hold him, yeah
And He rose up from the dead

And He died, He died, He died my soul to save
Now alive, alive! My soul’s revived in You
Grace has won!
O death, your weight will no longer hold me down
Christ forever glorified!
Christ forever glorified!

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
I was blind but now I see
Oh, I was blind
I was lost
I was hopeless without You
