Count the Cost - Painted Crimson

When nails met skin
Evil thought that it had won
My Savior hung from the branches of the cross
Obedient to death
He was innocent flesh
But love won't be held down, or buried in the ground
Cause love cried out, and grace broke free
Death tried, but His Spirit cannot die
With every stripe that He received
Jesus Christ made one with me
The cross never stood so tall
Painted crimson red for all
And the crowd they mocked
Why don't you come down from that cross
Aren't you the Son of God
Then the sky turned black
And the ground broke in two
Man feared, for what could man do
Cause love cried out, and grace broke free
Death tried, but His Spirit cannot die
With every hole that He received
Jesus Christ made one with me
The cross never stood so tall
Painted crimson red for all
What a beautiful sight it was
What a beautiful God He is
On the day of Calvary, when Jesus died for you and me
What a beautiful sight it was
What a beautiful God He is
What a beautiful sight it was
On the day of Calvary, when Jesus died for you and me
What a beautiful sight it was
When love cried out, and grace broke free
Death tried, but His Spirit cannot die
With every hole that He received
Jesus Christ made one with me
The cross never stood so tall
Painted crimson red for all
