HE STOOD ALONE


On a cross full of pain
Came to save the world from sin
Came to show us how to live
Came to show us how to forgive
But in His hour of pain
He stood alone
He stood alone

Through the air
Across the sky
Came His hurt
Came His cry
A life cut short by greed and hate
They realised but far too late
Far too late

Through the darkened sky and rain
The world held its breath again
Felt His hurt
Felt His pain
Saw His life blood slowly drain
For there He hung across the sky
Death came in a single cry
A single deafening cry!

Why so young upon the cross?
Why so young, so great my loss?
Why so young?

Why so cruel, so inhumane?
Why so full of hurt and pain?
Why so cruel?

From babe to child
From child to man
I walked with Him
Held His hand
Sat beside through joy and pain
Through frost and snow
Through wind and rain
Through loss and gain

From babe to child
From child to man
They talked and laughed
They ran and sang
They held each other
Since life began
From babe to child
From child to man
It's now I stand
Beneath the cross
So cruel
So bland
To suffer such a painful loss
To watch His life blood ebb away
To feel His sorrow and His pain
To watch His anger grow
To hear His dying cry and know
I walked with Him
I held His hand
Saw Him grow from child to man
I saw Him grow
I saw Him go!
