CRIMSON BLOOD pure as snow
Freely flowed freely flowed
God’s compassion came to man to the place I stand
Cruel crown that pierced His head
Pressed upon the Son of Man
Placed upon our hearts His crime
Because of love because of love
Because of love He came He raised He gave
Because of love He came no shame no blame
Because of love He came no other name
Because of love because of love…
Broken body lifeless form
Taken from the cross of scorn
Anointed shell encased with care
Fragranced by a mother’s tear
As the tomb this hollow grave
Came to life that very day
Christ in glory bursting forth
Because of love because of love.
Mark Tedder
