Lyrics
WORDS AND MUSIC THROUGH ROBERT NICKEL AND ERIC KUNTZ
27 JAN 2004
THE VERY BEST
HANGING ON THE CROSS BENEATH A CROWN OF THORNS
NAILS THROUGH YOUR HANDS YOUR SIDE WAS TORN
THEY CAST LOTS FOR YOUR CLOTHES TO FUFILL PROPHECY
IN STEAD OF WORSHIPING YOU ON BENDED KNEE
"CHORUS"
JESUS I LOVE YOU JESUS I WORSHIP YOU
OH GOD HOW I THANK YOU 'CAUSE YOU CARED ENOUGH TO SEND THE VERY BEST
HANGING ON THE CROSS ON A HILL CALLED CALVARY
YOU DIED FOR MY SALVATION THIS I DO BELIEVE
THE LAMB OF GOD YOU ARE MY KING
THIS SONG OF WORSHIP TO YOU I BRING
"CHORUS"
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I SEE YOU HANGING THERE
LORD OF LORDS YOUR SOUL LAID BARE
THE EARTH SHOOK AS YOU DIED AND THOSE GUARDING YOU
SAID SURELY THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD THEY KNEW THE TRUTH
"CHORUS"
ON THE THRID DAY YOU ROSE AGAIN
PROVING YOU WERE THE SON OF GOD NOT JUST A MAN
DEFEATED THE ENEMY YOU TOOK HIS KEYS AWAY
GLORY TO THE LORD HOLY IS YOUR NAME
"CHORUS"
