Shai Linne - The Cross (3 hours) lyrics

There's something you gotta see
Journey with me it's approximately 30 AD
In the land of Israel- the city of Jerusalem
But on the outside there's
Screams and loud cries through faith
This scene can be seen without eyes
The mean shout lies and seem to sound wise
As we inch through the crowd
We need to be cautious
A Roman execution, men on three crosses
But all the focus is on the one in the center
The gate closes behind you- no one can enter
The sight you behold is so odd
You're stunned
The man hanging on the cross is God the Son
12 noon, it's pitch-black because the
Sunshine's lacking your minds can't fathom
This divine transaction
As slowly the sound becomes mostly drowned
You realize that you're standing
On holy ground



"So forever will I tell: In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!" "So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any
Sinner ever will
In hell!""So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any
Sinner ever will
In hell!""So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!"
It's where we see Your holiness- at the cross
We see that You're controlling
This- at the cross
We see how You feel about sin- at the cross
Your unfathomable love for men- at the cross
It's where we see Your
Sovereignty- at the cross
We see our idolatry- at the cross
We know that there's a judgment
Day- from the cross
May we never take our eyes
Away- from the cross

We're now in the realm of
The sublime and profound
With God at the helm it's about to go down
The Father's wrath precise will
Blast and slice
The priceless Master Christ as a sacrifice
Willingly, He's under the curse
To be treated as if the Son was
The worst scum of the earth
The scene is the craziest
Jesus being treated as if He
Is the shadiest atheist
How is it the Messiah is in the fiery pit
As if He was a wicked
Liar with twisted desires?
The One who's sinless and just
Punished as if He was promiscuous
And mischievous with vicious lust
The source of all godly pleasure
Tormented as if He was a
Foul investor or child molestor
How could He be bruised like
He was a goodie two-shoes
Who doesn't think that she
Needs the good news?
He's perfect in love and wisdom
But He's suffering as if He
Constructed the corrupt justice system
We should mourn at the backdrop
Jesus torn like He's on the corner with
Crack rock with porn on His laptop
What is this, kid? His gifts are infinite
But He's hit with licks
For religious hypocrites
He's the Light, but being treated like
He's the seedy type who likes
To beat His wife he's treated like a rapist
Treated like a slanderer
Treated like a racist or maybe a philanderer
Jesus being penalized like He had sin inside
Filled with inner pride
While committing genocide
I could write for a billion
Years and still can't name
All of the sins placed on the Lamb slain
But know this: the main
Thing the cross demonstrated
The glory and the holiness of God vindicated

"So forever will I tell: In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!" "So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!" "So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!" "So forever will I tell:
In three hours
Christ suffered more than any sinner
Ever will in hell!"
