"I was there when they crucified my Lord. I held the scabbard while the soldier drew the sword. I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide."

It is because of our sins that Christ died on the cross. According to the old hymn, "It was my sin that held Him there." But love conquered the great divide between man and God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
