Beautiful Thing - Code Of Ethics

What was it like to spend a cold and sleepless night

Praying, take this cup from me

Please don’t let it be

There under star filled skys, the yellow glow of fireflies

Was the shadow of a friend

Betrayal would bring the end

For a second did You want to run

Knowing all the shame that was about to come

To the sinless one

A mother’s son

And how could it be, still so young at thirty three

Without protest without sound

Heavens love came down

The cross, the nails, the Savior’s crown

What a beautiful thing to do

The way you laid Your body down

Was so beautiful

And when that soldier pierced Your side

It was a beautiful thing to do

Such an ugly way to die, but so beautiful

Did you feel the evil, in the heart of everyone

As they cursed and they accused

Ah, the court was so amused

I bet it broke Your heart and made You cry

When one by one You heard Your friends deny

They ever knew You, they ever knew You

The cross, the nails, the savior’s crown

What a beautiful thing to do

The way You laid your body down, was so beautiful

And when that soldier pierced Your side

It was a beautiful thing to do

Such an ugly way to die, but such a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

What a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

What a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

What a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh…

What was it like, to hear the sound and feel the strike

As the nails pierced flesh and bone

Shamed and all alone

And when You peered through darkened sky, Drew Your last breath

Did You find Your father’s eyes

Before You died

The cross, the nails, the savior’s crown

What a beautiful thing to do

The way You laid your body down, was so beautiful

And when that soldier pierced Your side

It was a beautiful thing to do

Such an ugly way to die, but such a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

Was a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

Was a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh

Was a beautiful thing to do

Oh-ho-ho-ho-oh…
