Verse 1 In the quiet of the early dawn Betrayed by a friend with a kiss Soldiers came with swords and torches For the Prince of Peace they’d miss Bound before the courts of power Silent as the lies were thrown Innocence beneath the judgment Standing there alone Pre-Chorus Every step toward Calvary Was mercy walking willingly Chorus On the cross where love was broken Where the spotless Lamb was slain Blood of mercy poured like rivers Washing every stain Through the darkness heaven listened To redemption’s final cry “It is finished,” Jesus whispered And salvation was alive Verse 2 Hammer falls on wounded hands The sky begins to mourn Thorns pressed deep upon His brow The King of heaven torn Mocking voices rise around Him But mercy fills His eyes Forgiving those who pierce His heart As prophecy unfolds in time Pre-Chorus Every drop of crimson grace Was love poured out for every race Chorus On the cross where love was broken Where the spotless Lamb was slain Blood of mercy poured like rivers Washing every stain Through the darkness heaven listened To redemption’s final cry “It is finished,” Jesus whispered And salvation was alive Bridge Forsaken in the shadow The weight of every sin The holy Son abandoned So we could enter in The veil was torn in silence The earth began to shake Victory through surrender For every soul He came to take Final Chorus On the cross where hope seemed buried Where the Son of God gave all Grace became our victory Through heaven’s darkest call Every chain was shattered Every debt was satisfied “It is finished,” rang through history When the Lamb of God had died Outro Laid within a borrowed grave The world believed the end had come But love had written victory And Sunday would soon rise with the sun.
