Beauty of the Cross

What kind of king
Would wear a crown
That hurts like hell
And makes him bleed
Who lays aside a painless life
To identity with suffering
Who dawns the robe
Of spitefulness
So that man can wear
His righteousness
Oh the beauty of the cross

Oh the work is finished
But i am still in awe
You saw my heart's condition
But with joy You paid the cost
Through suffering
I'm joined to You
In victory in loss
Oh the beauty of the cross

Who on earth humiliates
Himself in front of those he made
Who borrows David's desperate prayer
Though their anguish
Couldn't be compared
Who opens up his heart to me
Though i put Him there
Upon the tree
Oh the beauty of the cross

Oh the work is finished
But i am still in awe
You saw my heart's condition
But with joy You paid the cost
Through suffering
I'm joined to You
In victory in loss
Oh the beauty of the cross

You spoke it in the garden
Foreshadowed through the kings
But no one could have fathomed
The depths of suffering
The beauty of an unseen God
Displayed for all to see
With face unveiled and hearts alive
We bow at calvary
You spoke it in the garden
Foreshadowed through the kings
But no one could have fathomed
The depths of suffering
The beauty of an unseen God
Displayed for all to see
With face unveiled and hearts alive
We bow at calvary

Oh the work is finished
But i am still in awe
You saw my heart's condition
But with joy You paid the cost
Through suffering
I'm joined to You
In victory in loss
Oh the beauty of the cross
Oh the beauty of the cross
