Glory of the Blood

In the solitary moment of His birth
On this barren, dusty land
All of heaven kissed the face of the earth
With a miracle of love
God became a man

But He was sent away to draw His final breath
When He was only thirty-three
And in the shame of dying a criminal's death
Oh, He cleansed an angry world
And in His suffering, I see...

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

Now I have tried to find salvation on my own
In a search for something real
But there's a guilty heart inside this flesh and bone
Oh, I fall upon His grace
And I begin to feel...

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
(The glory of His love)
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

And when I close my eyes
I can see Him hanging there
Ooh, the precious wounded Lamb of God
And all the majesty in this world
Cannot compare to the glory, yeah

Oh, the beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
(The perfect love of Jesus)
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood
