I had an idea that when Jesus was on the cross all of heaven - except the Father could see him.

Lyrics
Like the whisper of the wind
Like the stillness of a prayer
All of heaven watched as he was hanging there
With his final breathe
It was finished on that da
God had come to earth to give his life away
To Give his life away
Chorus:
On Calvary....
The king of glory died
The creator of the universe was crucified
His blood was shed
To rescue you and me
When Jesus surrendered all
On Calvary, oh, oh, oh
On Calvary, yeah, yeah, yeah
2).
No one will ever know
God's torture on that day
When the lamb was slain, the ransom paid
The Holy Son of God
Died for sinful men
He lay down his life, so we could live again
We can be born again.
Chorus:
Bridge:
Love beckons from the cross
Reaching out to the broken
out to the broken
Love beckons from the cross
Reaching out to the broken
out to the broken
Love beckons from the cross
Reaching out to the broken
Everybody's broken
Chorus
Like the whisper of the wind
Like the stillness of a prayer
All of heaven watched as he was hanging there
