Vocal Union Heaven's Irony
On a hill outside Jerusalem
Soldiers led Him there to die for them
As they nailed the hands that created men
He prayed that they would be forgiven
A lowly carpenter from Galilee
Loved the wealth that's found in poverty
Heaven's power clothed in humility
Let the cross become His destiny
Through His stripes, I am healed
Through my hate, His love revealed
Through my sin, shines His light
Through His death He gives me life
Heaven's irony
The Father's love is full and free
Heaven's irony
Jesus loves me
As the blood flowed from His wounded side
Tears of love flowed as my Jesus cried
And the people mocked Him as He died
The innocent was crucified
In a borrowed tomb they buried Him
With a paupers shroud they covered Him
In a grave of hardly any worth
Lay the Maker of the universe
Repeat (with echo in first half)
Through His stripes, I am healed
Through my hate, His love revealed
Through my sin, shines His light
Through His death He gives me life
Heaven's irony
The Father's love is full and free
Heaven's irony
Jesus loves me
Bridge
And oh what a wonderful love I have known
Like a river of life to my soul (river of life to my soul)
And oh what love (oh what love) the Savior has shown
Making my heart His home
After three days as He prophesied
The stone was rolled away, no one inside
Jesus resurrected, glorified
He's the way, the truth, the life.
Repeat (with echo in first half)
Through His stripes, I am healed
Through my hate, His love revealed
Through my sin, shines His light
Through His death He gives me life
Heaven's irony
The Father's love is full and free
Heaven's irony
Jesus loves me
(He loves me)
Heaven's irony (Heaven's irony)
The Father's love is full and free
Heaven's irony
Jesus loves me
Jesus loves me
Jesus loves me
