A Work Of Love Lyrics - Mosaic - Ricky Skaggs

What could make a man go up 

On a cross to die for us 

Just when the devil's push had come to shove 

What could leave the empty grave 

Carrying all the souls he saved 

Hallelujah that's a work of love 

What could make a man go down 

To the river for his sins to drown 

In the glory of the Lord he fell short of 

Confess the error of his ways 

And then lift his hands in praise 

Hallelujah that's a work of love 

[Chorus] 

It's the bending of the knee 

It's the tending of the need 

It's the hand that's reaching from above 

If you look and see the scar 

Then you know you've seen the heart 

Hallelujah that's a work of love 

What could make a man go out 

Change his life and turn about 

From wrestling with to resting with a dove 

With no thought of turning back 

Giving everything he has 

Hallelujah that's a work of love
