about

words and music by Luke Powell

lyrics

Battered and broken, nailed to a tree
I watch from a distance but Your eyes are on me
My heart filled with sorrow, I soak in Your pain
And each time I turn away, I come back again

Cos there was something about You, and the love in Your eyes
There was something about You, and it made me wanna cry

I come to sit at the foot of the Cross
I come to worship the Saviour who died
Alone and forsaken at Calvary
Covered in blood, beaten and wounded, He looks down at me
And His eyes are filled with tears
And He whispers “My Son, I love you, I love you
I love you”

And then the sky grew dark, and they came to take Him away
But the blood stained Cross, covered in mercy, will always stay

Battered and broken, I long to be free
Sometimes You feel distant, but You’re always with me
My heart filled with sorrow, You soak in my pain
And each time I turn away, You call me back again

And Lord there’s something about You, and the love in Your eyes
Yes there’s something about You, and it made me realise

I come to sit at the foot of the Cross
I come to worship the Saviour who died
Alone and forsaken at Calvary
Covered in Your blood, cleansed and forgiven, I look up at Him
And my eyes are filled with tears
And I whisper “My God, I love you, I love you, I love you”
