written by Jim Cooper & Regie Hamm







In the solitary moment of His birth



On this barren dusty land



All of heaven kissed the face of the earth



With a miracle of love



God became a man



But He was sent away to draw His final breath



When He was only thirty-three



And in the shame of dying a criminal's death



He cleansed an angry world



And in His suffering I see







The glory of the blood



The beauty of the body



That was broken for our forgiveness



The glory of His perfect love



Is the heart of the story



The glory of the blood







Now I have tried to find salvation on my own



In a search for something real



But there's a guilty heart inside this flesh and bone



Fall upon His grace



And I begin to feel







repeat chorus







And when I close my eyes I can see Him hanging there



Oh the precious wounded Lamb of God



All the majesty in this world cannot compare to the glory



The beauty of the body



That was broken for our forgiveness







repeat chorus







But He was sent away to draw His final breath



When He was only thirty-three
