Cross Of Glory Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

From the pages of the prophets 

He stepped out into the world 

And walked the earth in lowly majesty 

For He had been creator 

A creature now was He 

Come to bare love's sacred mystery 

He the Truth was called a liar 

The only lover hated so 

He was many times a martyr before He died 

Forsaken by the Father 

Despised by all the world 

He alone was born to be the crucified 

Chorus 

Upon the cross of Glory 

His death was life to me 

A sacrifice of love's most sacred mystery 

And death rejoice to hold Him 

For soon He would be free 

For love must always have the victory 

Though no rhyme could ever tell it 

And no words could ever say 

And no cord is foul enough to sing the pain 

Still we feel the burden 

And suffer with your song 

You love us so and yet you bid us sing 

Repeat Chorus 

For love must always have the victory
