🎵 Lyrics – “Forsaken for Love”
Inspired by Psalm 22 and the Crucifixion of Christ
Verse 1
My God, my God, why have You turned away?
The skies grow dark, and silence fills the day
Surrounded by the mockers and the shame
I bear the weight, I take the blame
Verse 2
They pierce My hands, they cast their lots for gain
My bones exposed, My strength poured out like rain
A heart like wax now melts within My chest
I thirst, I groan, yet still I bless
Chorus
But oh, what wondrous love is this —
That I should bleed to bring you bliss
Forsaken so that you’d be found
My love poured out upon the ground
The cross, the thorns, the mocking cries —
All so you would never die
I bore it all, the wrath, the flame —
So you could live and praise My name
Verse 3
They sneered, “Let God come save His chosen One”
Yet still I stayed – the work was not yet done
From cradle song to cries upon the tree
This was the path to set you free
Bridge
The bulls surround, the lions roar
Yet through it all, My soul is Yours
Into Your hands, My Spirit goes
The veil is torn — the grave won’t hold
Chorus (Repeat)
But oh, what wondrous love is this —
That I should bleed to bring you bliss
Forsaken so that you’d be found
My love poured out upon the ground
The cross, the thorns, the mocking cries —
All so you would never die
I bore it all, the wrath, the flame —
So you could live and praise My name
Outro (Triumphant and Hopeful)
And from the ends of all the earth
They’ll bow and rise in second birth
A story told through every tongue —
Of love poured out, of battles won
He has done it — it is done
The song of ages now begun
