So Great Love

I'm the thief that's next to you You whispered of some paradise Whose deeds You could not see Through The blood splatter in Your eyes I'm the crown they made of thorns Pain kept men away from me Now I know why I was born Born to crown a Majesty OH SO GREAT LOVE I'm the traitor called to you You knew before Your face I kissed I'd betray the One I knew For the price of silver in my fist I'm Simon standing in the crowd Roman fingers point to me To pick the cross up You laid down I had to kneel before a King OH SO GREAT LOVE I'm the wood that made the cross I was just another tree But now the treasure that I hold Has made a treasure out of me Im the whip that scourged your back Forty minus one I fly But I was never made for that For innocence should never die OH SO GREAT LOVE I'm the spear that pierced your flesh Sharp with passion dull with pride Cold Iron body mesh Streaming blood and water down Your side Im the one who washed your feet Angering the Pharisees Your body lifted all to see My shame lifting off from me OH SO GREAT LOVE
