Perfect But Painful



1: I saw the holy Son of God
I saw him mocked and beaten, crucified
The sun turned dark as night
I heard his God forsaken cry

2: I saw the soldiers pierce his side
I saw the temple curtain torn in two
The perfect lamb of God
sacrificed to make us new

Chorus: And I am in awe of you
Your perfect but painful love
You suffered and bled for us
In perfect but painful love

3: I saw a new creation dawn
I saw the bride made ready for the day
The new Jerusalem
Where every tear is wiped away

Bridge: My life is an offering for what you have done
My heart longs eternally for what is to come
My life is an offering for what you have done
My heart longs eternally for what is to come
