without the bloody cost – v3

We don’t want the pain
we deny that we caused it,
that we contributed to His pain;
Christ’s blood on the cross
was for our rebellion,
God’s body was broken for us

We want redemption
the healing of the cross
to be raised to glory;
yet we turn from the truth
from the bloody cost
the sacrifice of Jesus
