In the solitary moment of His birth   On this barren dusty land   All of heaven kissed the face of the earth   With a miracle of love    God became a man   But He was sent away to draw his final breath    When he was only thirty-three   And in the shame of dying a criminal's death   He cleansed an angry world   And in his suffering I see      Chorus:   The glory of the blood   The beauty of the body   That was broken for our forgiveness   The glory of His perfect love   Is the heart of the story   The glory of the blood      I have tried to find salvation on my own   In a search for something real   There's a guilty heart inside this flesh and bone   I fall upon his grace    And I begin to feel      Chorus:   The glory of the blood   The beauty of the body   That was broken for our forgiveness   The glory of His perfect love   Is the heart of the story   The glory of the blood      And when I close my eyes I can see Him    hanging there   Oh the precious wounded Lamb of God   And all the majesty in this world can not compare    to the glory   The beauty of the body   That was broken for our forgiveness      Chorus:   The glory of the blood   The beauty of the body   That was broken for our forgiveness   The glory of His perfect love   Is the heart of the story   The glory of the blood      He was sent away to draw His final breath    When He was only thirty-three
