Christian Nuckels - Love of a Savior (feat. Gospel Lee & Seeker..) Lyrics

The earth grew dark, shrouded in shadow
The King of Kings, bloody and battered
A crown of thorns, a throne of timbers
Nailed to a cross to make a way for us

Love became the darkness when He became a part of us
To fully grasp His heart for us He was beaten, bruised and scarred for us
Scandal of grace is a mystery yet so intentional
How the King took my place He went from royalty to criminal
Traded Your throne in heaven for two planks naked together
Lowered Yourself to death on a cross so we'd live with You forever
I'll never understand it Your plan's obscene and absurd
It's the grace of the Living Word that I don't get what I deserve

For our forgiveness you were broken
And for our sake You were forsaken
They mocked Your name, You showed compassion
"They do not know, Father forgive them"

Jesus your life laid down for us
This is the love of a Savior
Your blood poured out upon the cross
This is the love of a Savior

Love paid the highest price and You didn't think twice
Knew nothing else would suffice except for the blood of the Christ
And when You lost Your blood that's when I found a new life
And the pain that You endured erased my sin, struggle and strife
And while You struggled to breath they insulted and they mocked You
Said You claimed to be the Son of God but it looked like God forgot You
Above the disrespect said "God forgive them, they don't know"
When the Father turned His back said, "why'd You leave me, where'd You go"

The Word fulfilled that day at Calvary
The Lamb of God was slain upon the tree
Into the Father's hands You gave Your Spirit
Your dying breath, "It is finished"

Jesus your life laid down for us
This is the love of a Savior
Your blood poured out upon the cross
This is the love of a Savior

Your body torn by nails and thorns
This is the love of a Savior
Your blood poured out upon that cross
This is the love of a Savior

The sting of death was diminished when Love uttered "it is finished"
Same three words that took us from depleted to replenished
Very same words meant You accomplished what You intended
Also the same words that paved the way for repentance
You cried out with a loud shout and then You breathed Your last
The ground began to rumble then the veil was torn in half
The whole earth blacked out, satan thought he got the last laugh
Guess satan wasn't counting on Him dying and coming back
Satan's celebration would quickly turn into dismay
Fast forward seventy-two hours when the stone was rolled away
Inside the tomb there's bandages where His body was laid
Redemption had been purchased, the receipt was an empty grave
The word was fulfilled and Jesus settled the score
What the first Adam lost, the second Adam restored
We mourn what happened but celebrate what happened later
Cause our freedom was secured by the love of a Savior

The tomb was sealed
Your heartbeat silenced
Creation mourned
It is finished
