Wounded Love - Abide Worship

Описание: Wounded Love is a worship song that talks about the cross of Christ where mercy bled, love was shed out and redemption was paid full.

This is a song of reflection of how Jesus sacrificed himself:
that it was not nails which fixed him there,
but his love for us.


Wounded Love is a prayer of awe, gratitude and surrender of the Lamb who was killed and is now king forever.

But God expresses His love towards us thus: when we were still sinners, Christ died on our behalf.
— Romans 5:8

May this music bring you closer to the worship, memory, and wonder of the grace of our Saviour.

Amen

Lyrics

Verse 1
Before the stars were hung in place,
Before the dust knew breath and name,
You saw my sin, my broken state,
Yet still You chose the cross and shame.
I ran from light, embraced the night,
My hands were stained, my heart was stone,
But You stepped down from endless glory
To call this wandering soul Your own.

Verse 2
You wore my crown of guilt and fear,
You bore the weight I could not stand,
The spotless Lamb was pierced for rebels,
Nails driven by my sinful hands.
Your back was torn, Your face despised,
Heaven watched as mercy bled,
Love was lifted, bruised and broken,
As You bowed Your holy head.

Chorus
Oh what love, so deep, so wide,
That held You there, stretched open wide,
It wasn’t nails that kept You bound,
But love for me that held You down.
At Calvary my debt was paid,
Your final breath my price was made,
I stand redeemed, forever free,
Because You chose the cross for me.

Verse 3
The earth grew dark, the veil was torn,
The grave thought it had won that day,
But death could not contain the Author,
Nor silence heaven’s roaring praise.
Three days beneath the weight of time,
Then life erupted from the tomb,
The risen King now reigns in glory,
And calls me child instead of doomed.

Bridge
You knew my name before the whip,
You saw my face before the crown,
You chose the cross with joy set before You,
Love kneeling low to lift me up.
I was the cost, You paid it all,
No higher love was ever shown,
The scars You keep for all eternity
Declare that I am not alone.

Not alone…
Not alone…

Final Chorus
Oh what love, so fierce, so kind,
That traded heaven’s throne for mine,
From manger low to rugged tree,
Your life was poured out willingly.
Now every breath, my worship raised,
My life, my song, my endless praise,
Jesus, Savior, slain and risen King,
My heart belongs to everything You did for me.

Outro
I’ll never know the depth it took,
The silence of the Father’s face,
But I will spend eternity
In wonder at Your saving grace.
Worthy… worthy is the Lamb,
Who was slain… for me.
