Crucified Man (I have placed all my hope) I have placed all my hope in a crucified man In the wounds in his side, his feet and his hands I have traded my pride for a share in his shame And the glory that one-day will burst from his pain I’ve abandoned my trust in the wise and the proud For this fragile, mysterious weakness of God And I dare to believe in his scandalous claim That his blood cleanses sin for who ever Will call on his name Live or die here I stand I’ve placed my hope in a crucified man I believe as they beat on his beautiful face He turned a torturer’s chair to an altar of grace Where the worst we can do met the best that God does Where unspeakable hate met the gaze Of unstoppable love At the crux of it all there he hangs I’ve placed my hope in a crucified…. Man of sorrows man of grief Will he stay beyond belief? When the purest and best took the force of our curse Death’s victory armada juddered into reverse… And either we bow or we stumble and fall For the wisdom of a suffering God Has made fools of us all I gladly admit that I am But I’ve placed my hope in a crucified … Man of sorrows man of grief Will he stay beyond belief? I have buried my life in the cold earth with him Like a seed in the winter, I wait for the spring From that garden of tombs Eden rises again And Paradise blooms from his body And never will end He’ll finish all he began Creation hopes in a crucified man When I stand at the judgement I have no other plan I’ve placed my hope in a crucified man Like the thief nailed beside him I have no other plan I’ve placed my hope in a crucified man
