I Have Placed All My Hope
In the wounds in his side,
And the glory that one day
will burst from his brain
in the wise and the proud
mysterious weakness of God
And I dare to believe in His
That His blood cleanses sin
for whoever will call on His name
Live or die, here I stand
I've placed my hope in a crucified man
I believe as they beat on his beautiful face
He turned a torturous chair
Where the worst we can do
met the best that God does
met the gaze of unstoppable love
At the crux of it all, there he heads
I've placed my hope in a crucified
Man of sorrows, man of grief
Will he stand beyond belief?
took the force of our curse
Death's victory a martyr juddered
And either we bow or we stumble and fall
For the wisdom of a suffering
God has made fools of us all
Man of sorrows, man of grief
Will he stand beyond belief?
Like a seed in the winter,
From that garden of tombs,
Paradise blooms from his body,
He'll finish all He began
Creation hopes in a crucified man
When I stand at the judgment
Like the thief nailed beside you,
I've placed my hope in a crucified man
