This word surely came to pass In a stable Quiet Small Mary holding heaven close In a child who’d save us all He walked dusty roads of need Spoke life where the hopeless were Blind eyes opened Storms grew still Every heartbeat drew them near But His greatest act of love Was a cross on a hillside Every nail Every breath Took the weight I could not hide Laid in darkness Stone shut tight Silent grave The whole world cried Then the third day broke the night When He rose in glory Jesus Christ Crowds pressed in to hear His voice Bread and fish in open hands Widows Children Broken men Found a place where they could stand Yet He set His face ahead To a hill and a rugged tree Thorns and mockery and blood He suffered and died for all sins Given new life for me But His greatest act of love Was a cross on a hillside Every nail Every breath Took the weight I could not hide Laid in darkness Stone shut tight Silent grave The whole world cried Then the third day broke the night When He rose in glory Jesus Christ Sin was buried Chains were shattered (oh-oh) When that stone was rolled aside Hope awakened Death was silenced Now His grace is where I live Yes His greatest act of love Still reaches through my lifetime Every tear Every fault Covered by that crimson tide Empty tomb and open sky Living Savior Lifted high I will sing for all my life Jesus Risen Glorified
