Sword Through My Soul (Mary at the Cross)
I didn't have to see the dying,
Didn't have to see the blood
I didn't have to watch this,
But knew I would; I knew I would.
I saw it coming;
He showed me in His eyes
The holy spotless Lamb of God
Must choose to die, be sacrificed.
Chorus:
For I know the Messiah must be broken
For the souls that He loves to be made whole
But Truth cannot disguise a mother's pain:
A sword through my soul, a sword through my soul.
When He was young, I washed Him,
And held Him when He cried.
Now helplessly I stand and watch Him
Be crucified, be crucified.
The heart of God has opened;
The wall of sin divides no more;
The Word of peace has been spoken
Forevermore, forevermore.
CHORUS
Bridge:
Confusion took the reins of my heart and mind;
I desp'rately reached out to take control.
But the hand of He who loves me held a plan much more divine
That would sanctify and heal my very soul.
