They Should Have Cried Holy

Greater Vision

Lyrics

One day a crowd stood face to face With the Holy God of every race A final chance for them to humbly bow But as their King was crucified No tears of sorrow filled their eyes As they cursed His name and spat upon His brow They should have cried, "Holy" "Worthy", as loud their voices raised They should have cried, "Master" "We surrender to Your will and to Your way" Instead, they cried, "Crucify, let Him die" "Let's take His life away" They should have cried, "Holy" On crucifixion day No greater love was ever shown Than the love He showed His very own As He prayed, "Dear Father, for this deed, forgive" He knew that they were unaware That Holy God was hanging there And what an opportunity they missed They should have cried, "Holy" "Worthy", as loud their voices raised They should have cried, "Master" "We surrender to Your will and to Your way" Instead, they cried, "Crucify, let Him die" "Let's take His life away" They should have cried, "Holy" On crucifixion day Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty Instead, they cried, "Crucify, let Him die" "Let's take His life away" They should have cried, "Holy", "Holy" On crucifixion day, "Holy" "Holy is Thy name!"
