VERSE 1
He left His glorious throne
The Lord came down on earth
He hung on calv’ry tree for us
Shedding His innocent blood.
VERSE 2
That aweful death of His
Brought redemption to man
From satan’s bondage man released
And gives salvation to man.
VERSE 3
Oh! that gruesome disgrace
They slapped Him on the face
Even when they spat on the Lord
He did not utter a word.
VERSE 4
A crown of thorns, He wore;
Behold His side was pierced;
He suffered for sinners like me
And by His stripes we are healed.
VERSE 5
The suffering on the Cross
Patiently He did bear,
He pleaded “Father, please forgive,
For they know not what they do”.
VERSE 6
His blood has washed us clean
Brings forgiveness for sin,
A saving grace from pangs of death,
Restores communion with God.
Amen
