Bill Gaither
Then He Bowed His Head And Died
He heard a thousand mothers weep
For sons they'd never find
The pain of dads who cannot sleep;
Then He bowed His head and died
He saw the brokenness of war;
The tears of last goodbyes
He saw the lives all torn apart;
Then He bowed His head and died
He felt the weight of prisoners chains
He heard their cries at night
He felt the lash of every whip;
Then He bowed His head and died
He felt the pain of broken homes
He heard their children cry
Oh, He saw despair and hopelessness;
Then He bowed His head and died
From Eden to Golgothas hill
All across the sands of time
Came love just to buy back fallen man
God's Son would have to die;
Yes, To die....
A SHOUT split history in two
And it echoed through the skies
Oh, The Father, the Father heard
Thy will tis done!
Then He bowed His head and died!
All heaven heard, Thy will tis done!
Then He bowed His head and died
