10,000 Angels

Took the cross
To save what was lost
Laid down Your crown for a lower one
God’s only precious son
When You could have saved face, You chose to show grace
So amazing, Your love’s overflowing
Captain of the Lord’s host
Right hand of the Most high
Didn’t see it fit to boast
Chose to let yourself die
When You could have saved face, You chose to show grace
So amazing, Your love’s overflowing
They bound Your hands oh Jesus, In the garden where You stayed to pray
They led You through the streets, all around with so much shame
They spat upon Your face, put the eggs up in Your face
But You coulda escaped all You gave was Your grace
But to the howling mob You yielded, for mercy You didn’t cry
The cross of shame You took Alone, You died and rose alone
Salvation’s wondrous work was done
But You never thought to boast, for our sins, three nails
