Diamond on the Cross
What we could not conceive to be
Was in the mind of God
Forever in eternity
With angels rapt in awe
Suspended by our disbelief
In shame to suffer loss
He came to carry all our grief
A diamond on the cross
Unspeakable profanity
The hope of all humanity
The bright and morning star
In bearing the unbearable
Repaired the unrepairable
As love came pouring down
In crimson from the scar
Through searing pain
A crimson stain
He came to pay the cost
And show compassion to the lost
A diamond on the cross
His passion held him bound for me
To break the chains surrounding me
The savior of humanity
The brilliant Son of God
Will shine for all eternity
Forgiveness pouring down on me
To keep me rapt in awe
A diamond on the cross
