Only God is lovely Only God is true He made the stars above me And he made me and you Every man's a sinner Potentially a saint All other lights are dimmer Comparatively faint To this one Light This holy rite This glorious sight This God inside Of everyone receiving This good news we're believing This God incarnate in The Son of God within I see His love in you Though sometimes hid from view By sinful human plight Mixed in with lust and pride But at the cross of Calvary Sin's venom meets immunity Where all who suffer pain and loss Find hope and grace upon the cross Immeasurable love's found there A treasure beyond compare To anything of earthly form Far beyond heroic norm For there what's holy met what's vile There the Lamb became defiled There the Father poured out wrath Upon this sacrificed empath Good and evil's in each one Every daughter, every son, Born into this motherhood No one's righteous, no one's good But there upon that rough hewn tree There hung pure divinity Fixed between the earth and sky Crushed by God, for us, to die Serpent in the wilderness Raised upon a staff no less All who look on him are blessed Healed of their mortal distress Close the curtain on this sight How could such a death be right? Where the holy suffered, bled and died for all, for all were dead Delivered up for our transgression He gave himself in intercession Took upon himself our sin Act 1: Scene 2: New Life [Begin] Into the belly of the earth Went the Prince of matchless worth Suffered shame and became cursed For the joy of our new birth Raised by God from hell's dark chains Raised from death and all its pains Raised for justification's gains Raised for us and there remains Raised in spirit, flesh and bone, Raised by God's great power alone Raised and seated on the throne Raised for us - His very own Overcoming satan's spell Carried us with Him as well All who hear, believe and tell Of His victory over hell Know the power of the cross How His victory swallowed loss How He paid the priceless cost Of our sin when we were lost Only He is lovely But we may catch a glimpse Of that which is most comely His glory raised within Revealed by His Spirit Foretaste of Life divine For all those who can hear it His glorious light will shine We're raised with Him in glory We're seated on the throne And this completes the story We'll know Him as we're known
