Lyrics The sky grew dark at midday's call, The Savior carried the weight of all. Every heartbeat, every scar, Love reached farther than the stars. Nails could never hold Your grace, Mercy shone upon Your face. Though the world had turned away, You chose the cross that dreadful day. Every promise still remained, Even through the deepest pain. Heaven watched the spotless Lamb, Fulfilling God's eternal plan. Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani, My God, why have You forsaken Me? You bore the silence I deserved, So I could hear Your gentle Word. Love was bleeding on that tree, Breaking every chain in me. You were forsaken for my soul, Now by Your wounds I'm finally whole. Every thorn upon Your brow Wrote redemption's story down. Every drop of crimson grace Called the lost to seek Your face. When I stumble, when I fall, Still I hear Your mercy call. From the cross Your arms stayed wide, Love refused to say goodbye. Though the darkness veiled the sky, Hope would never truly die. Three days later stone gave way, Life defeated death that day. Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani, My God, why have You forsaken Me? You bore the silence I deserved, So I could hear Your gentle Word. Love was bleeding on that tree, Breaking every chain in me. You were forsaken for my soul, Now by Your wounds I'm finally whole. You drank the cup that should be mine, Turned my ashes into life. Where despair had built its throne, Now Your endless mercy reigns alone. No
