[Verse 1] The sky split open like a shattered veil Darkness fell heavy The heavens wailed A crown of thorns A crimson stream The weight of the world in a silent scream [Prechorus] Oh The nails that held the night Oh The love that won the fight [Chorus] The cross still stands The grave is bare Mercy poured out Beyond compare For every tear For every sin The cross still stands The hope within [Verse 2] They mocked His name They cast their stones But love stayed steady through the breaking bones The earth it trembled The temple tore Yet in His silence He spoke much more [Prechorus] Oh The blood that paid it all Oh The grace that caught our fall [Chorus] The cross still stands The grave is bare Mercy poured out Beyond compare For every tear For every sin The cross still stands The hope within
