Michael Card - A Violent Grace Lyrics
A mural of memories moves by in a blurHis prayers all seem unanswered and unheardHis pleading petitions, his loud cries and tearsA last reprieve will simply not appearChorus:So ruthless He loves us, So reckless His embraceTo show relentless kindness to a hardened human raceThe joy that was before HimOn the Man of Sorrow’s faceAnd by His blood He bought a violent graceMost willing of victims, And with His final breathDestroyed the one who holds the power of deathThe hate heaped upon Him, scorning all the shameBut all for love He died and overcameChorusIn all of time no one had ever heardAnd to the world the thought seemed so absurdBeyond their wildest dreams no one could ever tellOf a high priest who would sacrifice HimselfChorus x2And by His blood He bought a violent graceA violent grace
