Love exceeding
Hangs there bleeding
How can the world turn it's back
On the Wooden Cross?
Love exceeding
Hangs there pleading
With every drop of falling blood
A silent painful entreat to us all.
Love exceeding
Hangs there reeling
Disfigured with blows and wounds
Scarred by thorns and nails
Isaiah's Suffering servant on the tree of the Cross.
Love exceeding
Hangs there seeking
For one familiar out of the crowd
To stand at the foot of the Cross.
Love exceeding
Hangs there interceding
To the Father in Heaven above
To forgive us all our sins.
Love exceeding
Hangs there feeding
With His Body and Blood
To save us for the eternal meal.
Love exceeding
Hangs there heeding
Doing the Will of the Father
Even through gritted teeth in pain.
Love exceeding
Hangs there leading
To the ones gone before
And yet to follow in time
Opening the gates of Heaven to all.
Love exceeding
Hangs there needing
For our love and reconciliation
To embrace the Saviour
Who took our place instead.
Love exceeding
Hangs there yielding
Into an astonishing suffering
The World could never bear this
But Christ bore it out of pure Love.
Love exceeding
Hangs there bowing
Forsaken in his last moments
Thirsting more for contrite hearts.
Love exceeding
Hangs there feeling
The rejection and bitterness of the Cup
Longing for the love of whom He Loves.
Love exceeding
Hangs there dying
Exhausted with anguish
Pouring the last drop of blood
Love gives up his Spirit on the Cross.
