I Saw Love

I saw the crowd laughing and mocking
As He slowly walked down the street;
I saw the Man carrying the cross on His back
As it fell many times at this feet;

They beat Him and they pierced Him
'til the blood flowed from His side;
As He slowly turned His face toward me,
For the first time, I saw in His eyes.

I saw the nails tear in His flesh
As the hammer struck down;
I saw the cross being lifted into the air;
I saw it fall heavily into the ground;

And the Man in the middle with the tears in His eyes,
He was taking my place;
As He slowly turned His face toward me,
"I forgive you", I heard Him say:

Chorus:
And I saw love like I've never seen love before
From anyone;
And I saw love where hatred could have been
For all the things that were done;
And the people that stood 'round me, LORD,
Oh, they were blind, oh, they could not see
The love that I saw in His eyes
Looking back at me.

Chorus:
And I saw love like I've never seen love before
From anyone;
And I saw love where hatred could have been
For all the things that were done;
And the people that stood 'round me, LORD,
Oh, they were blind, oh, they could not see
The love that I saw in His eyes
Looking back at me.
