The night had surrounded The journey at hand A cup full of suffering Serpent lay where you stand Through your tears falling down You prayed “Your will be done I am ready my Father I’m your servant your Son” The serpent lay crushed As soldiers came to that place Confusion whirled round Yet peace reigned on your face And as I gazed at you Jesus Just one thing did I see Heaven’s light in your eyes So completely free Only love did I see As they bound and they beat Only love perfect love Caused the devil’s defeat Only love in your eyes When they tore at your skin Only love from above As you took on all sin They pulled and they dragged and they kicked at you they mocked and spat and laughed all through They maimed your body They spilled your blood They pierced and they nailed you Knocked you down in the mud But you took up the cross Like a lamb led to die Embracing the tree Silent love in your eye Only love did I see Under your crown of thorns Only love in your heart As your limbs they were torn Only love in your eyes As you became the sacrifice Only love from above As your life paid the price There was no self-pity No longing for end No hate for your people Only prayers you gave them For even in death You prayed, “Father forgive” You bore His rejection So sinners could live Not once turning back Though in pain all the while Peace beyond understanding Upon you like a smile Only love did I see As I bound and I beat Only love perfect love Caused the devil’s defeat Only love in your eyes When I tore at your skin Only love from above As you took on my sin I’ve pulled and dragged and I’ve kicked at you I’ve mocked and spat and laughed all through I’ve maimed your body I’ve spilled your blood I’ve pierced and I’ve nailed you Knocked you down in the mud Yet you climbed on the cross So willing to die Pierced for my sins Yet with love in your eye I am so unworthy That you’ve done that for me I’m ashamed of my weakness And betrayal, and life lived selfishly For all the while you Spilt your blood With compassion and victory With love like a flood Father forgive me A servant I come Conquer my heart Your battle be won Only love did I see As you carried the cross Only love in your heart For the lambs who were lost Only love on your face As you fell to the ground Only true perfect love So those lambs could be found Only love perfect love To cast out all fear Only you are my love I’ll forever draw near Only love in those eyes As the blood ran down With love set apart I lay before you my crown Love like an arrow Cut deep to my soul Cleanse me and take me Making me whole I hear your words As I live in today “Will you follow me child Will you come my way? Will you drink this cup Will you give up your life I gave all for you Will you give up your pride?” I fall in deep pits, Lord But you’re love’s deeper still You see only the Son in me, This is your will And I know that my vows Are still written on your heart “You’re my Lord and my God I shall not from you depart You alone have the words That speak my destiny To whom else could I go Who else could I believe?” Love’s who you are And who I wanna be Peel the scales from my eyes That I might truly see Take all I have Take all that I am Make a beautiful place Of my 21 grams Only love let there be As I take up my cross Only your perfect love Through this journey and cost Only love in my eye Because you are inside An obedience of love Violent crushing of pride You’ve called me to live Blameless and free To die to my sin Faithful and triumphantly You’ve called me to join In your death, that’d I’d see To share in your suffering Will set captives free So my step by your step My Hand in your hand I follow after you To the Promised Land And I gaze ever at you Seeing love ever there Open my heart to love This is my prayer
