Lyrics
Here in the early dawn, I don’t understand what’s going on
Confusion everywhere, as they take You away from here
To condemn and convict You, for no crime they strike You down
Your innocence is clear, but for your death they cheer
You could call ten thousand angels, to come to your defense, but You choose obedience
For all our brokenness, You give nothing less
As I stand here shaking and see Your body breaking
Did I deny You once or twice, or was it really three?
Your eyes confirm the truth, even though I walked with You
I cannot hide my shame, You’ve taken all the blame
And in this moment to see You lying there
Pouring out these streams of blood, I cannot calm my fear
And with each nail they drive, I feel the pain with You
But I just keep on watching, there’s nothing I can do
Your arms are reaching, reaching out with love, reaching out with love
Your voice is calling, calling out for love, calling out Your perfect love
In daylight darkness falls, as sin is heaped upon You
The Father turns His face away as You cry out in un-worldly pain
My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
No where to run and no where to hide
I stand to witness the passion in Your eyes
And recount the days You showed us who You truly are
Yet in Your suffering, You’re still reaching out to hearts
Your arms are reaching, reaching out with love, reaching out with love
Your voice is calling, calling out for love, calling out Your perfect love
How can it come to this, when I walked so close to Your righteousness?
Where will this lead us now, with the curtain torn and falling down?
And now the earth is shaking and the rocks are crying out
Your voice strains to speak, but the words are no less weak
It is finished
It is finished
But this is not the end
