On that day at Calvary
They nailed Him to the cross
The sky turned black
The earth rolled back
It looked like hope was lost
They said if you are the King of Jews
Come down so we can see
Jesus cried my God
My God
Why have you forsaken me

God turned his back
And He looked away
And I believe a tear
Rolled down His face
And He must have cried
The greatest tear ever cried
For love

And on that day in Heaven
As the Angels stopped their song
Gabriel sat his trumpet down
And knelt before the throne
God could have sent His legions down
To set our savior free
Before He shed His last drop
Of blood for you and me

God turned his back
And He looked away
And I believe a tear
Rolled down His face
And He must have cried
The greatest tear ever cried
For love

And on that third day morning
In the darkness before dawn
Mary and the others
Hurried down to see the tomb
They had no way of knowing
While their hearts were breaking still
The promise Jesus made
Was about to be fulfilled

God looked again
And He rolled that stone away
And I believe a smile was on His face
And He must have cried
The greatest tear ever cried
For love

Christ is Risen
For Love
Christ is Risen
For Love
