Lyrics
Can you hear the echoes
Of the hammer falling on the wooden cross
Can you hear them as the blood flows
The echoes of the cross
Can you hear Him weeping
As the Father turns His face
Forsaken by earth and heaven
With the nails and thorns of grace
And with every hammer blow
God's work was made complete
Our sin exchanged for His righteousness
Through willing hands and feet
Can you feel the crushing weight
Of our sin upon His back
As He hangs in pain and nakedness
While the Roman soldiers laugh
Can we ever comprehend
It pleased God to crush His Son
That through this just injustice
Could such a mercy come
But can you dare imagine
How this wrong could be so right
Through the echoes of the cross
His death has brought us life
Oh, I cannot be silent
I cannot be still
What Christ has done for you and me
Still echoes from Calvary's hill
Can you hear the echoes
Of the hammer falling on the wooden cross
Can you hear them as His love flows
The echoes of the cross
