lyrics
Can't you see Him hanging
On a cross made out of wood?
The nails were hard and real
And you could touch them if you would
Can't you understand
Just what He did for you and I?
How He paid for our forgiveness
When He came to earth to die
Oh, oh, can't you see that He loves you?
Oh, oh, can't you understand He loves you?
Once I caught a glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
Of the cross; but I never will forget
What I saw there
On His lips he formed a word
Through tears and agony it came
I listened to Him there
And then I heard Him speak my name
Oh, oh, can't you see that He loves you?
Oh, oh, can't you understand He loves you?
