Kirk Franklin Hero Lyrics

Hero Lyrics

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



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



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



To the homeless 

The widow 

The fatherless son 

To the sick and the broken alone with no one 

Lift up you head your hope is on the way 

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



Bridge:

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



Bridge:

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 (x2)

You are my hero you came and saved The day



Vamp: 

You saved you saved the day(repeat) 



you are my hero you came and you saved the day
