Love Kept Him There (Mid Tempo)

Lyrics and Music © Tim Lovell. All Rights Reserved.

     LOVE KEPT HIM THERE

 

SHADOWS IN GETHSEMANE

OF A KNEELING SILHOUETTE

PRAYING IN EARNEST

FOR HIS TIME WAS AT HAND

 

WHAT MADE HIM STAY IN THE GARDEN

NO GATES NOR BARS WERE THERE

THE DARKNESS WHISPERED

WHY WAIT FOR CERTAIN DEATH

 

LOVE KEPT HIM THERE

LOVE MADE HIM BARE

ALL THE PAIN AND THE SHAME

HE SUFFERED

LOVE KEPT HIM THERE

 

LED AWAY TO PILOT’S SEAT

WITH TORCHES IN THE AIR

THEN TAUNTING AND SPITTING

THE SOLDIERS SCOURGED HIM THERE

 

WHAT MADE HIM STAY IN THAT PALACE

WHAT MADE HIM ENDURE

WHY NOT CALL HIS ANGELS

TO COME AND RESCUE

CHORUS:

 

TAKEN TO GOLGOTHA

MEEK AS A LAMB

BLEEDING FROM THE TORTURE

THEY NAILED HIS FEET AND HANDS

 

THE NAILS OF IRON THAT BOUND HIM

COULD NEVER HOLD HIM THERE

SOMETHING MUCH STRONGER

HELD THE SON OF MAN

CHORUS:
