That Kind of Love

[Verse 1]
He was born on the Amber road
By the way of the Baltic Sea
A frail little boy in 1914
Winds of war rolled in from the west
To ravage the town of Kalisz
Nothing was left
When they finally did leave

[Pre-Chorus]
Where can you go when nothing remains?
Nowhere to run from that kind of pain
He could have hardened his heart
Let the bitterness sweep him away
But he found the strength of his God and forgave

[Chorus]
Hosanna, hosanna
How can we treat each other the way that we do?
To the last blood, he chose to rise above
How can we find the grace for that kind of love?
That kind of love

[Verse 2]
September of '39
There came a different wind
From the east and the west
The nightmare began again
The beautiful land had become
Smokestacks and rivers of red
He stood at the threshold
With all of his friends

[Pre-Chorus]
"Shema Yisrael
The Lord our God is one"
Was on his lips
And then they were gone

[Chorus]
Hosanna, hosanna
How can we treat each other the way that we do?
To the last blood, he chose to rise above
How can we find the grace for that kind of love?
That kind of love
That kind of love

[Bridge]
Where were You when we walked in?
And have we all been forsaken?
Have You let the darkness win?
After everything they've taken?
Not my will but Yours be done
But if I could ask just one question
How could this be worth the price?
And why are the innocent always the sacrifice?

[Chorus]
Hosanna, hosanna
How can we treat each other the way that we do?

[Verse 3]
Despised and rejected by men
Acquainted with grief
A lamb to the slaughter was He
And over the forests
And golden fields of Kalisz
A strange kind of ash
Floats towards the sea
