Hero - Kirk Franklin

The heavens were silent

The earth weeped in pain

Nations were trembling and hope never came

A Terror filled the air

And it wouldn’t go away

We needed a hero to come and save the day…

Famine and hunger

Disease in the land

The hatred the killing taking lives from your hand

Creation waits through the darkness we pray

Tell me where is the hero to come and save the day…

Through the nails

Through the thorns

From the hill to the grave

Was a voice in the distance the lamb that was slain

My soul had no song and my debt I couldn’t pay

When I needed a hero you came and you saved the day…

To the homeless

The widow

The fatherless son

To the sick and the broken alone with no one

Lift up your head your hope is on the way

When we needed a hero you came and you saved the day

When the curtain had closed

And it felt like the end

When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin

Even though men deny

You’re the only sacrifice

That loved us enough you loved us so much Lord

That you gave your life see you saved my life

Now I can see you I’m no longer ashamed

Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged

Every wrong is erased, Jesus

You are my hero you came and you saved the day

When the curtain had closed

And it felt like the end

When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin

Even though men deny

You’re the only sacrifice

That loved us enough you love us so much Lord

That you gave your life see you saved my life

Now I can see you I’m no longer ashamed

Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged

Every wrong is erased, Jesus

You are my hero you came and you saved

You are my hero you came and you saved

You are my hero you came and saved The day

You saved you saved the day

You saved you saved the day

You are my hero you came and you saved the day
