The Christ

The Father looked down from Heaven above The Son came down and demonstrated his love, The Father looked down with despair on his face The Son came down and demonstrated his grace The Father with power and might in his hand Was bound by his word to send us a man, A man perfect and pure shed innocent blood So you and I may be cleansed from the crud, Jesus the Christ who gave us his life Crucified on the cross to redeem the lost, He descended to hell and took back the keys So we may be free when we fall to our knees It was revealed he rose on the third Now my heart as free as a bird, He ascended up to heaven again His holy spirit now comforts the souls of men, Enter now the pearly gates Leave behind the shackles of hate, Rivers of honey and streets of gold No longer alone forsaken and cold, Jesus the Christ who gave us his life Crucified on the cross The ultimate cost!
