Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Cobblestones sting, a crown of thorns bites deep
Through sweat and blood, their jeers a chorus cheap
Pilate washed his hands, a crowd demands my head
But every face I see, I love, own light is bled
(Chorus)
Calvary beckons, a hill stained crimson red
Each step a burden, for love on them I tread
The air grows thin, the sky a canvas gray
But my love for you, for all, will light my weary way
(Verse 2)
Simon stumbles, forced to bear a part of my pain
His weary eyes meet mine, a love I can't explain
Mothers clutch their sons, with tear-filled, searching eyes
Their fear I understand, for them my spirit cries
(Chorus)
Calvary beckons, a hill stained crimson red
Each step a burden, for love on them I tread
The air grows thin, the sky a canvas gray
But My love for you, for all, will light my weary way
The air grows thin, the sky a canvas gray
But My love for you, for all, will light my weary way
(Bridge)
My strength gives way, the world a swirling haze
Visions of children, bathed in love's own rays
The weight of every sin, a crushing, endless tide
But My love's embrace remains, within, it cannot hide
(Chorus)
Calvary beckons, a hill stained crimson red
Each step a burden, with love's own banner spread
The air grows thin, the sky a canvas gray
This love for you, for all, will light the coming day
(Outro)
Nailed to the wood, the breath escapes my lungs
Yet with each ragged gasp, a love for all is sung
Forgiveness blooms, a silent, sacred vow
This My love for you, for them, for all, endures somehow
with love's own banner spread
The air grows thin, the sky a canvas gray
This love for you, for all, will light the coming day
(Outro)
Nailed to the wood, the breath escapes my lungs
Yet with each ragged gasp, a love for all is sung
Forgiveness blooms, a silent, sacred vow
This My love for you, for them, for all, endures somehow
