Public Display of Affection

EARLY ONE MORNING AT GETHSEMANE
THEY CAPTURED AN INNOCENT MAN
BY DAYBREAK THEY HAD TRIED HIM
THE CROWD CRIED CRUCIFY HIM
THEY DROVE NAILS IN HIS FEET,AND IN HIS HANDS

ON AN OLD RUGGED CROSS
ON TOP OF A HILL
THEY WATCHED HIM FROM EVERY DIRECTION
AS HE DIED ON THAT TREE FOR A SINNER LIKE ME
IN A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

THE ONLY INNOCENT MAN IN THAT CROWD
THE CROWD CRIED CRUCIFY
THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS WORTHY TO WALK AWAY SAFE
HE CHOSE TO SUFFER AND DIE

ON CALVARY’S HILL
GOD’S ONLY SON
PAID THE PENALTY FOR OUR PROTECTION

FAITH IS GREATER THAN LAW
AND THE CROWD SAW IT ALL
IN A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

EVER SINCE TIME BEGAN
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN MAN
THAT WAS WORTHY FOR SUCH SACRIFICE

BUT OUT OF GREAT LOVE
FROM THE FATHER ABOVE
HIS SON PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE

THOUGH HE’D DONE NOTHING WRONG
AND HE SPOKE ONLY TRUTH
HE SUFFERED THE PAIN AND REJECTION

WHAT THE CROWD THERE DID SEE
AS HE DIED ON THAT TREE
IT WAS A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

THE ONLY INNOCENT MAN IN THAT CROWD
THE CROWD CRIED CRUCIFY
THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS WORTHY TO WALK AWAY SAFE
HE CHOSE TO SUFFER AND DIE

ON CALVARY’S HILL
GOD’S ONLY SON
PAID THE PENALTY FOR OUR PROTECTION

FAITH IS GREATER THAN LAW
AND THE CROWD SAW IT ALL
IN A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION
