Love Crucified Arose Lyrics - Michael Card

Long ago He blessed the earth 

Born older than the years 

And in the stall the cross He saw 

Through the first of many tears 

A life of homeless wandering 

Cast out in sorrow's way 

The Shepherd seeking for the lost 

His life the price He paid 

Chorus 

Love crucified arose 

The risen One in splendor 

Jehovah's sole Defender 

Has won the victory 

Love crucified arose 

And the grave became a place of hope 

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke 

Is beating once again 

Throughout Your life You've felt the weight 

Of what You'd come to give 

To drink for us that crimson cup 

So we might really live 

At last the time love and die 

The dark appointed day 

That one forsaken moment when 

Your Father turned His face away 

Repeat Chorus
