A mural of memories moves by in a blur

His prayers all seem unanswered and unheard

His pleading petitions, his loud cries and tears

A last reprieve will simply not appear


So ruthless, He loves us, So reckless His embrace

To show relentless kindness, To a hardened human race

The joy that was before Him

On the Man of Sorrows face

And by His blood He bought a violent grace


Most willing of victims, And with His final breath

Destroyed the one who holds the power of death

The hate heaped upon Him, scorning all the shame

But all for love He died and overcame


So ruthless, He loves us, So reckless His embrace

To show relentless kindness, To a hardened human race

The joy that was before Him

On the Man of Sorrows face

And by His blood He bought a violent grace


In all of time no one had ever heard

And to the world the thought seemed so absurd

Beyond their wildest dreams no one could ever tell

Of a high priest who would sacrifice Himself


So ruthless, He loves us, So reckless His embrace

To show relentless kindness, To a hardened human race

The joy that was before Him

On the Man of Sorrows face

And by His blood He bought a violent grace


So ruthless, He loves us, So reckless His embrace

To show relentless kindness, To a hardened human race

The joy that was before Him

On the Man of Sorrows face

And by His blood He bought a violent grace 2x
