VERSE 1
Blood and sorrow flow from the languid brow of Jesus dying
And tears from heaven's eyes are the anguished drops of a Father crying
Oh, why?
CHORUS
This must be a cross of love
for God to bruise His only Son.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us.
It had to be a cross of love.
VERSE 2 (solo 1)
Emblem of his pain
Oh, splintered wood of my transgression
I'll never comprehend
How an act so great gave love expression
Oh, why?
VERSE 2 (solo 2)
And the people jeered at Him and mocked His holy name
For they knew not who He was or why it was He came
Some had come to offer help to soothe a mother's pain
But as she watched her wounded Son, the comfort never came
Oh, why?
CHORUS
This must be a cross of love
for God to bruise His only Son.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us.
It had to be a cross of love.
This must be a cross of love
for God to bruise His only Son.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us.
It had to be a cross of love.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us.
It had to be a cross of love.
It had to be a cross of love.
