Words Cannot Explain

Words cannot explain
The love he does retain
For us who did not retain
Our God-given domain

Words cannot explain
How my Lord did not complain
But left his precious domain
Only for him to be disdained

Words cannot explain
How the King himself was slain
That blood oozing out of his vein
Would flood our sins like rain

Words cannot explain
How my Lord did captain
The whole of satan's domain
Even when he had been slain

Words cannot explain
How he rose from that domain
With captives in his train
To share in his domain
