The Scandal

The Scandal [Verse 1] You started the scandal on timber and thorn A King in the wreckage, misunderstood No angry throne to settle or pay Just Your heart, Father... meeting our fray. [Chorus] You didn't flinch, You didn't turn away You were within, reclaiming our clay We died in Your death, we wake in Your life One in the love, and one in the sacrifice. [Verse 2] It’s the offense of mercy, the grit in the eye That the Light of the world was willing to die You felt every hammer, the hate, and the spear Then whispered... "Forgive them" [Chorus] You didn't flinch, You didn't turn away You were within, reclaiming our clay We died in Your death, we wake in Your life One in the love, and one in the sacrifice. [Bridge] We were there in the garden, there on the hill Held in Your union, Your sovereign will No longer a stranger, no longer alone We are the dwelling You’ve always called home. [Verse 3] You didn't wait for the air to clear At our absolute worst, Your life was given Heaven was open, the silence was riven The Father, the World... all one in You. [Outro - Ode] We eat of Your body, we drink of Your blood One in the grain, one in the cup Not just to remember a death that is through But to wake to the mystery: We’re hidden in You.
