Down this Road

There’s no greater pain I’ve known
a wrenching of the heart and a crippling of the throat
as I lie here in wait of Your deliverance
and Your promise be all I can hold
if I were to bottle it up for all time
it would surely explode
Yet in wait I continue to find
the journey of knowing You down this road

They spat on You, tore you down
cross on Your back, made thorns Your crown
Still they jeered as the nails went into Your feet
and celebrated when Your head finally went down
the love you gave they did not receive
eyes so blinded by the world of deceit
they turned their back on what You came to give
And caused You a greater pain than they would ever know

In this road, in this pain
I come to find You in wait
Showing me the love You give
And Your life You gave
In carrying my own cross I find the weight of yours
I feel the pain You own
With what it’s like to love
and have them never know

I lay in wait of Your deliverance
Yet in the pain I bear I’ve come to know
the life You gave in the love You’ve shown
and how we fail to make that our own
We can never be justified
in rejecting the One we know
because the greatest love You’ve given
is through the promise of knowing You down this road
