the glory

Here are some of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs - The Glory - a song by Avalon, especially thinking about Easter :

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

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

I have tried to find salvation on my own

In a search for something real

There's a guilty heart inside this flesh and bone

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

Is the heart of the story

The glory of the blood

And when I close my eyes I can see Him hanging there

Oh the precious wounded Lamb of God

And all the majesty in this world can not compare to the glory

The beauty of the body

That was broken for our forgiveness

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

He was sent away to draw His final breath

When He was only thirty-three
