Beautiful Blood - The Waiting

Breaking the coals

Makes the fire burn bright

Doesn’t seem right

Doesn’t seem right

Plowing the row

Makes it outshine the field

Doesn’t seem real

Doesn’t seem real

But of all the things

That don’t make sense to me

There is yet a greater mystery

The river of Peace

That flowed on the wood

The beautiful blood

The beautiful blood

Meek is the lion

And brave is the lamb

Don’t understand

Don’t understand

The death of the One

To bring life to the rest

Who would have guessed?

Who would have guessed?

But everything’s clear

Next to the mystery

Of almighty God nailed to a tree

To carry a debt

That I never could

The beautiful blood

The beautiful blood

Yes, everything’s plain

Next to the mystery

Of almighty God nailed to a tree

Taking His place

Where I should have stood

The beautiful blood

The beautiful blood
