Jesus, how You anguished on that lonely cross I will never comprehend, But, then in rising from the grave, In glory, You appear again.
By just One Life You conquered all With all You had to give, What will that mean for me Upon each day, how then shall I live.
Can I imagine, or enter into the purpose of the pain To understand why You died, Will that help me come to know What it means to be Your precious bride.
While You hung there, bearing all my grief Stained unclean, shattered with my sin, What love, what far reaching sight to see Me, so pure within.
That, when You arose, to lift my heart on high In Your loving arms, even then, With all the power of heaven's love You were breaking every chain of death.
So now I am flying gloriously free Bound no longer by aging of this earth, New life is mine, I am released I now know.. Your resurrection is my birth.
