Verse 1
The birds were not singing, the sun could not shine
No praise went up to Him that day and all creation cried
The Lamb on the altar slain for our sins
He was left alone to die a sinner's only friend
His back striped for our healing, a crown of thorns was on His brow
But the day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
Verse 2
Broke and mocked, they spat on Him
The One Who loved them so
Not caring that it was the Savior hanging on the cross
The Lamb slain from the foundation has paid our debt somehow
But the day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
Chorus
The day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
The sacrifice of love so great
One day every knee shall bow
They all stood around the cross with their heads hanging down
But the day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
Verse 3
Angels watched in silence as the Father turned away
"Why hast Thou forsaken Me" they just heard Him say
A darker day in heaven they had never known
No greater love to any man had ever been shown
The Lamb slain from the foundation has paid our debt somehow
But the day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
Bridge
No one can take My life
I freely lay it down
See My love for you
My blood spills to the ground
Chorus
The day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
The sacrifice of love so great
One day every knee shall bow
They all stood around the cross with their heads hanging down
But the day nobody praised Him is why I praise Him now
Tag
I will praise Him, I will praise Him
Praise the Lamb for sinner's slain
Give him glory all ye people
For His blood can wash away each stain
That's why I praise Him now, That's why I praise Him now
That's why I praise Him now, Ooh
