A Violent Grace Lyrics by Michael Card

Soul Anchor

2000

[Verse 1]
A mural of memories moves by in a blur
His prayers all seem unanswered and unheard
His pleading petitions, His loud cries and tears
A last reprieve will simply not appear

[Chorus]
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless His embrace
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrow's face
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace

[Verse 2]
Most willing of victims, and with His final breath
Destroyed the one who holds thе power of death
The hatе heaped upon Him, scorning all the shame (scorning all the shame)
But all for love He died and overcame

[Chorus]
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless His embrace
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrow's face
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace

[Verse 3]
In all of time no one had ever heard
And to the world the thought seemed so absurd
Beyond their wildest dreams no one could ever tell
Of a high priest who would sacrifice Himself

[Chorus]
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless His embrace
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrow's face
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace

[Chorus]
So ruthless He loves us, so reckless His embrace
To show relentless kindness to a hardened human race
The joy that was before Him on the Man of Sorrow's face
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace (By His blood)

[Outro]
And by His blood, He bought a violent grace
Violent grace
