It Was Love - Abandon

The angel stood in awe

At the sight they saw

The night You were betrayed

You could have saved yourself

But you held back the heavens

And let them carry You away

You laid Your kingdom down, they handed you a crown Of thorns You were torn,

but cried let Your will be done

It wasn’t nails that held You to the cross It was love, it was love,

it was Your love You took our place, carried our guilt and shame All for us,

all for us, all for us It wasn’t nails that held You, it was love

To think You chose this cup

Knowing all that was to come

Oh the grace that poured from You

Before Your final breath

Through Your tears You said

«Forgive them, for they know not what they do.»

You looked up to the sky

Let out a final cry

It is done!

Hope has won!

Lord, let Your kingdom come!
